Footnotes
Professors J. Andrew Overman and Douglas Edwards teach, respectively, at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. The Black Sea Project’s excavations in Chersonesus are financially supported by Macalester College, the University of Puget Sound and several private contributors.
The phrase “The one who has chosen Jerusalem” is based on Zecharaiah 3:2, where it appears in a negative context: “May the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you.”
