Re: Golb's Theory
I'm not sure tha Golb links the presence of women and children with Q being
a fort (I must check), but their presence has long been explained away as
due to the Roman attack on Q (some of the persons were said to have died
prematurely).
Golb DOES imply that since Q was attacked, it was a fort. I agree
it was fortified (if minimally), but not sure that means it was built for
that purpose.
