Source I didn't get yet[edit]

I have ordered the following, but the interlibrary system barely moves at this time of year: L. V. Rutgers, ed. (2002). "The 'Caves of Simeon the Just' and 'The Minor Sanhedrin'. Two Burial Complexes from the Second Temple Period in Jerusalem". What Athens Has to Do with Jerusalem. Essays on Classical, Jewish, and Early Christian Art and Archaeology in Honor of Gideon Foerster. Leuven pages = 125–149. {{cite book}}: Cite uses deprecated parameter |authors= (help); Missing pipe in: |publisher= (help) When it arrives, I'll add it.
