Why is there no mentioning of him being Armenian? He was known as Nikon the Armenian. There is even a book about his life name : "A Greek Life of St. Nicon the Armenian"
A Greek Life of St. Nicon the Armenian was found in the Sforza library, and translated into Latin by the Jesuit Sirmond, for the use of Cardinal Baronius. This contemporary legend casts a ray of light on Crete and Peloponnesus in the 10th century. He found the newly-recovered island, foedis detestandae Agarenorum superstitionis vestigiis adhuc plenam ac refertam .... but the victorious missionary, perhaps with some carnal aid, ad baptismum omnes veraeque fidei disciplinam pepulit. Ecclesiis per totam insulam aedificatis, &c., (Annal. Eccles. A.D. 961.)]
Would appreciate if someone added to his title that he was in fact an Armenian called St. Nicon the Armenian. He was not a Greek. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.97.241.39 (talk) 11:54, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
The article contains a source which directly contradicts you. Please find a reliable source (not a primary one, mind you, but a modern, scholarly source) that reports his Armenian origin, and then add it to the article. And please do not delete or change the current statement, for it is supported by a citation. If and when you find a source supporting an Armenian origin, you can add it as an alternative.
