WHEN WAS JESUS BORN?: M. M. NINAN<br />

Titus Flavius Clemens (c.150 - c. 215), known as Clement of<br />

Alexandria said:<br />

‘Our Lord <strong>was</strong> born in the twenty-eighth year, when the first census<br />

<strong>was</strong> ordered to be taken in the reign of Augustus.’<br />

Epiphanius of Salamis (ca. 310–320 – 403) <strong>was</strong> bishop of Salamis and<br />

metropolitan of Cyprus<br />

Epiphanis says that Christ <strong>was</strong> born in the 42nd year of the reign of<br />

Augustus which leads to 2 B.C.<br />
