Neither "Wise" Nor "Men" - Discuss

Via Terri at frogblog, a Church of England committee has been studying the Three Wise Men mentioned in the 17th century King James Bible, and "said the term 'Magi' was a transliteration of the name used by officials at the Persian court, and that they could well have been women." I tend to doubt we'll be hearing We Three Queens of Orient Are any time soon, however.
