Authors

  • George D. Kilpatrick

Abstract

The papyri and inscriptions of Dura show the linguistic diversity of the inhabitants, notably Aramaic inscriptions and a Hebrew liturgical text from the synagogue, while the Diatessaron fragment, in the original Greek, supports the Greek origin of the Christian community.
