,, 98. In reply to a question, Professor Hope W. Hogg has very 

 kindly sent me the following note (May 19, 1906): — 



'• Among the Jewish coins assigned to the period A.D. 

 132 — 135 are coins of the first year bearing the name 'Simon 

 Prince of Israel,' and coins of the second year bearing the 

 name 'Simon.' It is reasonably inferred that 'Simon' 

 was the personal name of the leader of the Jewish revolt 

 against Hadrian. Jewish sources call him Ben — (or Bar — ) 

 Koziba, perhaps from his native town or his father ; 

 Christian sources call him (Bar) Chochebas, ' Son of the 

 Star,' a Messianic title founded on Numbers xxiv., 18. Of 

 his career and the course of the war not much is known 

 with certainty ; but the struggle was severe, and the revolt 

 was suppressed only after Roman troops had been amassed 

 in considerable strength by (Sextus) Julius Severus, governor 

 of Britain (leg. pr. pr. provinciac Bnttaiiiae, leg. pr. pr. 

 provinciae Judeae [C.I.L. iii. n. 2830] ), who was transferred to 

 Judaea to take charge of the war (Dio Cassius, Ixix., 13). 

 Has that any connection with the presence of the coin at 

 Melandra ? " 



The information given us by the authorities Prof. Hogg cites, 

 seems to give a negative answer to his final question ; since it 

 seems clear that this Severus Avas never in command in Judaea 

 before coining to Britain, and that he did not return to Britain 

 after the Jewish war. But there is nothing to prevent our 

 supposing that some Roman officer of lower rank had served in 

 Judaea before coming to Britain. 



„ 113. At the foot should be added — 



Record of Lost Fragment of Inscription.
