Josephus in Latin: a Retroversion Into Greek and an English Translation

manuscripts are substantially in agreement in their texts. It seemed worthwhile to conjecture what was the original Greek which Josephus wrote, and to attempt a translation of the Latin version of this passage. This article contains the retroversion from the Latin to the Greek, and is provisional and of necessity conjectural. Opposite this Greek version is an English translation which runs parallel with the Greek as far as possible line by line. This passage is typical of the Contra Apionem as a whole, and illustrates the manner in which Josephus conducts his defence of Judaism against Apion’s attack. It is a forthright and personal statement, rather than a closely argued case. The title is not the author’s own, and an alternative is On the Antiquity of the ,~ew~. The following editions of the works of Josephus contain the Latin version of this passage.
