Excerpt from Jerusalem, Vol. 2 of 2: The Topography, Economics and History From the Earliest Times to A. D. 70 In the History I have thought right to give a more exact transliteration of the Hebrew proper names than the conventional English spelling adopted in Volume I. But some of the more important names, such as Solomon, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, I have left in their familiar forms. I have also altered one or two forms of reference to ancient works: for instance, the document cited in Volume I. As the pseudo-aristeas appears in this volume as the Letter of Aristeas.
