Chapter 17
Premium narration
1
A fragment consisting of seven mutilated lines, and palaeographically dated to the last decades of the first century BCE, appears to belong to an apocalyptic account of world history, divided into weeks of years and possibly centred on the Temple of Jerusalem. Despite the lack of continuous narration, the significant details justify the inclusion of this text in the volume. For the editio princeps, see M. Broshi, DJD, XXXVI, 187-91.
