Herculaneum was buried by a compact mass of material about 16 metres deep which preserved the city until excavations began in the 18 th century. Special conditions of humidity of the ground conserved wood, cloth, food, and in particular many papyri.

    Extractions: (*=significant apparent disagreement in sources) Date BCE Events Sources Herod plunders the wealthy of Jerusalem in order to give gifts to Antonius and others; he kills forty-five of the leading members of the Antigonus' supporters. He rewards those who supported him during the siege, in particular the Pharisee Pollion and his disciple Samaias, who advised the people during the siege to open the gates to Herod. (This same Pollion was the one who spoke during Herod's trial, and foretold that, if Herod's life was spared, Herod would one day persecute Hyrcanus and the members of the Synhedrion .) Antonius executes Antigonus in Antioch by beheading him, in order to strengthen Herod's hold on the kingship.

    Extractions: In later Greco-Roman times Auranitis was one of the four provinces that Augustus gave to Herod the Great (c. 23 B.C.). At Herod's death in 4 B.C. , Philip (4 B.C.-A.D. 34), his son, received for a tetrarchy Galaunitis, Batanea Trachonitis , Auranitis, and a certain part of the domain of Zenodorus, or all of the country from Mount Hermon to the Yarmuk River . Subsequently it formed a part of Philip's tetrarchy. He was the son of Herod the Great and Cleopatra of Jerusalem . He was educated in Rome and administered his territories effectively and peacefully and was perhaps the ablest of the Herod dynasty. He founded the city of Caesarea Philippi near Paneas and and the sources of the Jordan River near Mount Hermon. He built the city of Bethsaida on the

    Extractions: X. Saint Luke and Josephus I. BIOGRAPHY OF SAINT LUKE The name Lucas (Luke) is probably an abbreviation from Lucanus, like Annas from Ananus, Apollos from Apollonius, Artemas from Artemidorus, Demas from Demetrius, etc. (Schanz, "Evang. des heiligen Lucas", 1, 2; Lightfoot on "Col.", iv, 14; Plummer, "St. Luke", introd.) The word Lucas seems to have been unknown before the Christian Era; but Lucanus is common in inscriptions, and is found at the beginning and end of the Gospel in some Old Latin manuscripts (ibid.). It is generally held that St. Luke was a native of Antioch. Eusebius (Hist. Eccl. III, iv, 6) has: Loukas de to men genos on ton ap Antiocheias, ten episteuen iatros, ta pleista suggegonos to Paulo, kai rots laipois de ou parergos ton apostolon homilnkos "Lucas vero domo Antiochenus, arte medicus, qui et cum Paulo diu conjunctissime vixit, et cum reliquis Apostolis studiose versatus est."

    Extractions: ITHACIUS CLARUS. See P RISCILLIAN , P RISCILLIANISTS ITUREA: A region named in Luke iii. 1 . The name of a people, "the Itureans," is older than "Iturea" as the name of a region, and is to be connected with the Jetur of Gen. xxv. 15 , a son of Ishmael denoting a nomadic stock of the Syro-Arabian desert, whose home, according to the Genesis passage, was in the neighborhood of Teima on the western border of Najd, between Medina and the oasis of Jauf. I Chron. v. 18-22 tells of a victorious campaign of the Hebrews of the East-Jordan land against Jetur and other nomads in pre-exilic times, which shows that Jetur must have changed its place of abode to the neighborhood of the Jabbok; but the mention in Luke iii. 1 can have nothing to do with this passage. Aristobulus I. (105-104 B.C. ) fought the Itureans and annexed part of their territory (Josephus, Ant. XIII., xi. 3), and Strabo (XVI., ii. 10, 18) in Roman times locates them on the plain of Massyas (Marsyas) between Laodicea and Chalcis, i.e., in C?le-Syria (q.v.), and he is corroborated by an inscription of Quirinius (Mommsen in Ephemeris epigraphica

    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle-mathematics/supplement4.html
    
    Extractions: Citation Information This supplement provides some general indications of Aristotle's awareness and participation in mathematical activities of his time. Here are twenty-five of his favorite propositions (the list is not exhaustive). Where a proposition occurs in Euclid's Elements , the number is given, * indicates that we can reconstruct from what Aristotle says a proof different from that found in Euclid). Where the attribution is in doubt, I cite the scholar who endorses it. In many cases, the theorem is inferred from the context. In a given circle equal chords form equal angles with the circumference of the circle ( Prior Analytics i.24; not at all Euclidean in conception) The angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal ( Prior Analytics i.24; Eucl. i.5*). The angles about a point are two right angles ( Metaphysics ix 9; Eucl. follows from i def. 10). If two straight-lines are parallel and a straight-line intersects them, the interior angle is equal to the exterior angle (
