8 The same holds true for the 3rd-c. synagogue of Khirbet Hamam which also contains Biblical imagery, as discussed in the appendix to chapt. 8 of this book.

9 A hypothesis that Levine refutes for lack of evidence. This idea proposed by Weiss, Z., “Between paganism and Judaism: toward an identification of the ‘Dionysiac Building’ residents at Roman Sepphoris,” Cathedra 99 (2001) 7–26 [Hebrew]Google Scholar.
