He also argues that the passage to Dio Cassius which says he did is a later interpolation ..
I presume you mean "..the passage of or by Dio Cassius .."

did what?
  1. Hadrian had an alter to Jupiter dedicated in the Temple?, or
  2. Hadrian included the Temple mount in Aelia Capitolina??
Sorry about that. It was a typo.

It was supposed to be "in" Dio Cassius, but what can you do?

And I know Stuart maintains that passage as interpolated, but I think it was just an altar as opposed to a full blown temple.

Cheers. I think there are likely to have been situations where altars are embellished to be temples (and perhaps likewise with synagogues)
