| Title: On the Meaning of the Term "Jew" in Graeco-Roman Inscriptions Secondary Title: HThR Volume: 82 Pages: 35-53 Type: Journal Article Year: 1989 Abstract: "Most of the inscriptions represent self-designation. Jews did not normally indicate their Jewishness by the use of such words. If the singular does not signify geographic or ethnic origin it is used in some general sense to designate pagan adherents to Judaism in order to explain that non-Jews who affiliated with Judaism either took, on the term, perhaps as self-designation, or gave the term as a proper name to their children".
