This volume contains first and second century documents in Aramaic
and Greek said to come from Nahal Se'elim and now generally held to
be from Nahal Hever (the provenance of the Babatha Archive and the
Bar Kokhba documents). The transitional stage of the Aramaic
language is documented here for the first time. The Greek language
and script closely resembles that of the Greek papyri from Egypt.
The legal documents in the archive of Salome Komaise, daughter of
Levi from Mahoza (a village in the Roman province of Arabia), and
similar documents from Judaea published here, like those of the
Babatha archive, constitute the most authentic evidence for certain
legal and social aspects of the life of Jews at the time. The
evidence of assimilation of non-hellenized Jews to their
environment contrasts with and complements that contained in
contemporary and later Rabbinic sources.
