No end of quote by here. Whose epitome are you using, George?
Suidas has been known for half a millennium to the Post
Rennaisance World. What is your point? That there were
a number of extracts about the Essenes? Very likely.
But how can we know what there were without the sources,
either named in Suidas or from other tracts and supported
by other evidence. Suidas' sources are mostly unnmamed
or have not survived. They're useful when they point to
otherwise supportable evidence.
Surely you're not trying to argue this 10th C CE text against
1st C BCE original material?
