Endnote 2 – Pontius Pilate

See Shemuel Safrai and Menahem Stern, The Jewish People in the First Century, Compendia Rerum Iudaicarum ad Novum Testamentum 1 (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1974), p. 316. Other editions restore and interpret the inscription differently, but they all agree it reads “Pontius Pilate, prefect of Judea.”
