“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Intriguing! Was Alypius a popular given name?
To my untutored ear, it sounds kinda similar to the Assyrian Church missionary Alopen mentioned on the Xi-an stele in Hebei, China:
http://www.orthodox.cn/history/jingjiao/010724firstarrival_en.htm
“…the first official and documented arrival of Christianity in China took place in the year 635. A delegation from Baghdad, headed by a Persian bishop with the Chinese name Alopen, was received by Emperor Taizong of the Tang dynasty in Changan, then capital of China, near present-day Xi’an.”

IHMO similarities of “al – yp – ius” in etymology of the Sanskrit term ‘upaniá¹£ad’ worthy of note also: upa- (near), ni- (down) and sad (to sit), i.e. referring to the “sitting down near” a spiritual teacher. Could these late Hindu texts be syncretisms of ancient Assyrian Christian Wisdom teachings emanating from Tibetan remnants?
