| Title: Kata tuton ton kairon. Josephus' Source on Argrippa II Pages: 241-268 Type: Generic Year: 1981/1982 Abstract: "The introductory phrase kata tuton ton kairon (""about this time"") may be used as a cirterion for distinguishing Josephus' sources. This and other such cirteria indicate that those stories in Antiquities 20 that cast aspersions or worse on King Agrippa II were copied by Josephus from another narrative. The author of the narrative was probably a Jerusalem priest caught between the high priests (appointed by Agrippa II) and the Levites (whose ambitions Agrippa encouraged). Material from the same source may also have been preserved in B. Pesah 57ab. - D.J.H." Keywords: Prototypes and Sources for Josephus |
