Hi. Is it correct the stub-class for this page? Or someone forgot to update the rating? --Bonty (talk) 07:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it isn't a stub. See 24th march 2009 version and this rating at the same day. I think B class is a more correct rating. --Roberto Segnali all'Indiano 08:42, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

in addition, there are some letters addressed to him by Emperor Valentinian III about a religious dispute and preserved in the Collectio Avellana.

Is this a typo for one of the earlier Valentinians? Valentinian III wasn’t born until 35 years after Praetextatus’ listed death. benadhem (talk) 13:38, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
