[4834] The supposed ancient (pre-Christian, Israelitish) inscriptions in the Crimea are now generally ascribed to a much later date. Comp. Harkavy, Altjud. Denkm.
[4835] See Schürer, Gemeinde Verf. d. Juden in Rom. Schürer has collected forty-five of the most interesting of these inscriptions.

[4837] This is expressly stated in Moed. K. 8 b, lines 7-9.
[4838] On account of the poverty of some of the sages, it was declared that they needed not monuments; their deeds were their monuments (Jer. Shequal. ii. 7, p. 47 a).
[4839] 1 Macc. xiii. 27-29.
[4840] Ant. xvi. 7.1.
[4841] The first gives an exaggerated account of the great monument erected by Simon Maccabeus in honour of his father and brothers; the second refers to a monument erected by Herod over the tomb of David.
[4842] On the use of the word Nephesh as meaning not only soul' and person,' but as applied also to the , the reader will find some very interesting remarks in the App. Not. Miscell. to Pocock's Porta Mosis, pp. 19, 20, and 75-78, and in Pagnini, Thes. Ling. Sanct. col. 1658, &c.

[4844] Ezek. xliii. 7. Probably the second clause of Is. liii. 9 should read thus: And with the rich His sepulchre.'

[4848] On the subject of mourning' I must refer generally to the corresponding chapter in Sketches of Jewish Social Life.'

[4860] This is not only the literal rendering, but the parallelism of the previous member of the sentence (even if he die, shall live') - where the life' is neither the spiritual nor the eternal, but life in opposition to physical death - seems to demand this, rather than the rendering of both the A.V. and the R.V.
[4861] St. John xi. 4.
[4862] Possibly it might be: He that was to come,' or should come, like {hebrew} or {hebrew} in which case it would be another evidence of Hebraisms in the Fourth Gospel.

[4871] On the Sanhedrin, see further, in Book V.
[4872] The doubt as to their reality would, of course, come from the Sadducees in the Sanhedrin. It will be remembered, that both Caiaphas and the Chief Priests belonged to that party.

[4874] The city' called Ephraim' has not been localised. Most modern writers identify it with the Ephraim, or Ephron, of 2 Chron. xiii. 19, in the neighbourhood of Bethel, and near the wilderness of Bethaven. But the text seems to require a place in Peræa and close to Galilee. Comp. p. 127. __________________________________________________________________
