Document Details : Title: Horizontal or not? Subtitle: The Patibulum in Sallust, Hist. 3 Frg. 9 Author(s): VAN WINGERDEN, Ruben Journal: Biblica Volume: 99 Issue: 4 Date: 2018 Pages: 592-599 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.99.4.3285665 Abstract : Did Jesus carry a whole cross or just a part, a patibulum? Whether patibulum is horizontal or not is an issue in crucifixion studies. Sallust, Hist. 3 frg. 9, could play a role in this discussion. By a thorough survey of the narrative context and the many text-critical issues, we hope to contribute something to the discussion by arguing that patibulum in Sallust, Hist. 3 frg. 9, should be understood as horizontal. |
