William R. Schoedel suggests that Ignatius had difficulty refuting his opponents solely from the OT ( Ignatius of Antioch , p. 209): ... it is still a challenge to the bishop's assertion that he can find what he wants in the OT.

Hey Joseph, Glad to see you back! I think what Giuseppe has in mind is this passage in The Epistle to the Tarsians: Chapter III.—The true doctrine respecting Christ. Mindful of him, do ye by all means know that Jesus the Lord was truly born of Mary , being made of a woman; and was as truly crucifie...

Well, I hate to add to perfection itself (uh huh) but I was formerly relying on De Jonge for my Philo citations.

Going back to Hegesippus' Hebrew or Aramaic skills, the Hebrew word that Eusebius claims Hegesippus paraphrased as " Oblias " (ὠβλίας), would appear to be the Hebrew verb " יָבַל " ( yabal ) to bring, carry, lead, conduct. The Greek word I'd expect would be ὁδηγήσει ( hodegesei )...

These links are probably out of date (harvested in 2007), but with regard to the sources that may lie behind all those variegated means of death that James was supposed to have suffered, hereare some sources I located then: 12/22/07 http://bcharchive.org/2/thearchives/showthread2a1c-2.html Jona Lend...

Ken, I'm afraid I will have to decline to continue this discussion. ... The intensity level of posts about Synoptic Problem, especially Q, is why I have never liked the tenor of Synoptic studies.
