ABBREVIATIONS
Customary abbreviations are used for the books of the Bible, for the tractates of the Mishnah and the Talmud (the prefix b indicates that a Talmudic tractate is from the Babylonian Talmud), and for the books of authors such as Josephus and Philo. Quotations from Scripture are normally in the Revised Version; Josephus and Philo are cited from the Loeb edition, and the Mishnah from H. Danby’s translation.
