Wikimedia Commons · Public domain (PD-old-100-expired; CC-PD-Mark) · file In the traditional account of the famine at Myra, Bishop Nicholas persuaded sailors at the harbor to release wheat for the population. The narrative dates the famine to 311–312; 311 is used as the earliest supported year because the required date format does not permit ranges. The account is hagiographical.
