Looks like an issue with different resources having different timeline dates
The timeline usually reflects datings from different sources - did you check that?.EDIT: Ah, I see Graham did. /EDIT
E.g. English Wikipedia believes Papias "lived circa 70-163 AD" whereas German Wikipedia refuses to give a date and just cites that authors speculate his birth somehwere around 70 but some earlier (60 or even 50) and that he wrote his books around 120. Obviously dating his life and his episcopate involves judgment and different authors come to different conclusions about that.
If nothing else, this thread can help alert users to the way timelines work. The confluence of timeline items in one timeline can give the impression that it constitutes a coherent resource of its own whereas it does in fact query and pull together a visual report of different resources that may disagree or conflict.
I suppose they felt that even in his present condition he was better than the other available candidates. I wonder if we could elect him a United Methodist Bishop at the next Jurisdictional Conference?

That's hilarious. It also gives me some insight into 1 Cor 15:29a. [:)]
How the timeline shows us the source of the data and hence the cause of discrpencies
