Ah, but to reference Dillon's recent statement, just because it holds in the "later middle ages" or in English does not mean it applies to the 1st C. Judean

Yes, but, again, to reference Dillon's earlier extensive commentary on this matter, do we "know" that, or only believe it to be so? And, as was also well
