An old interpolator of Josephus advanced the opinion that the king mentioned in the story was Ptolemy III; but this monarch was not the consort of Cleopatra, nor was his immediate successor Seleucus IV . The only ruler to whom the narrative can properly refer is Ptolemy V Epiphanes ( 205-182 ), who in 193 BCE married Cleopatra, the daughter of Antiochus III In that case, however, Joseph could not have farmed the Egyptian taxes, since CSle-Syria was then under Syrian, and not under Egyptian, suzerainty, while the assertion that the two powers had divided the revenues of the country is merely an attempt on the part of Josephus to evade the difficulty.

The commentary of Puritan scholar Matthew Henry added the difficulty and unlikelihood that a deliberate addition could be inserted into the text-line : " It was far more easy for a transcriber, by turning away his eye, or by the obscurity of the copy, it being obliterated or defaced on the top or bottom of a page, or worn away in such materials as the ancients had to write upon, to lose and omit the passage, than for an interpolator to devise and insert it; he must be very bold and impudent, that could hope to escape detection and shame, and profane too, that durst venture to make an addition to a supposed sacred book .

Andreas K�stenberger considers the James passage to be authentic and states that the James passage attests to the existence of Jesus as a historical person, and that his followers considered him the Messiah . ( K�stenberger pages 104 105 ) K�stenberger states that the statement by Josephus that some people recognized Jesus as the Messiah is consistent with the grammar of Josephus elsewhere but does not imply that Josephus himself considered Jesus the Messiah . ( K�stenberger pages 104 105 ) K�stenberger concurs with John Meier that it is highly unlikely for the passage to be a Christian interpolation given that in New Testament texts James is referred to as the " brother of the Lord " rather than the " brother of Jesus ", and that a Christian interpolator would have provided a more detailed account at that point . ( K�stenberger pages 104 105)
