... that in the first-ever Romanian universal chronicle, Mihail Moxa shows "the God of the Old and New Testaments baptizing His stars with the names of Olympian deities"? Source: Barbu Lăzăreanu, Cu privire la: Hasdeu. II, p. 40. Bucharest: Cultura Românească, [n. y.]: în cronica lui Moxa îl vedem pe Dumnezeul vechiului și noului Testament botezându-și stelele cu nume din ale zeităților din Olimp! (final exclamation mark dropped in my rendition, which ends before the punctuation).

- Comment: I am adding Biruitorul as a co-author because (a) he wrote the sourced stub I expanded upon, and (b) he added a very interesting and finely sourced tidbit about Moxa Street.

5x expanded by Dahn (talk) and Biruitorul (talk). Nominated by Dahn (talk) at 06:33, 2 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Mihail Moxa; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

5x expansion checks out, the article is interesting, appears comprehensive and well referenced (AGF to offline, Romanian and French sources, but knowing the editors I have no hesitations). QPQ done, hook is interesting and in the article, where it is referenced. Constantine ✍ 21:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
