The so-called "Evidence" here is rather meager. In fact, next to the
body of religious forgeries, it amounts to squat.

In short, it consist of a partial inscription and a whole lot of
imagination.
Don't beileve me? Why, check THIS out, and be sure to read the
translation:

There is no other "Evidence." None. Zip, zero & nil. Every other
mention
is from people long after the fact, and they are clearly exposed to
Christian beliefs (in other words, they're repeating what the
Christians
are claiming, and are NOT independent sources).

two independent sources, which is what we have here, is probably
enough to establish the existence of a bit player in history who had
small control over a minor jewish province.
