Do the editions agree on facts?
Whether editions agree on load-bearing facts (counts, categories). Contradictions — especially ones later corrected — are worth checking.
| factual question | now |
|---|---|
| Approximately how many Jewish casualties resulted from the Bar Kokhba revolt? | agree |
| Both cite huge losses; he gives a broader range (tens to hundreds of thousands) overlapping with en's hundreds of thousands. | |
| What were the revolt's consequences for the Jewish population of Judea? | agree |
| Both describe near-total depopulation, destruction, and demographic shift, though phrased differently. | |
| Did the Romans rename the province after the revolt, and to what name? | insufficient |
| he does not mention the renaming, so cross-edition comparison is inconclusive. | |
Shared-source overlap (context only, skewed by edition language): now: 0.15.
