  Salamis, Cyprus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salamis was an ancient city-state on the east coast of Cyprus, at the mouth of the river Pedieos, 6 km North of Famagusta.
In 450 BCE Salamis was the site of a simultaneous land and sea battle between Athens and the Persians.
(This is not to be confused with the earlier Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE between the Greeks and the Persians at Salamis in Attica.)

 The Significance of 70 Years
Even through Jehoiachin was not in office and was not transported to Babylon until the year 597-596 BCE (at the epoch of a 70th year--as cited) it may have been that the author of Ezekiel reckoned the year of Jehoiachin's captivity' as coinciding with the time of the initial Babylonian conquest of Judea.
This means that the occurrence of the nearest 7th year (according to 70-year chronology) could have begun in either the spring of the year 162 BCE (not in autumn of the year 163 BCE) or it could have began in the spring of the year 163 BCE (not the autumn of the year 163).
It is of special significance that the year 37 BCE (the year when King Herod ascended to the throne of Jerusalem) is indicated to have been the year of a conjunction of both cycles--of 70 years and of 49 years.

 Chronology Of Jubilees
If the current year (44-43 BCE) did correspond to the cited 2nd year of the land-use agreement then it might be possible to interpret this passage to mean that the respective year did correspond to a 7th year (as celebrated by the Jews).
Assuming that a jubilee-year was celebrated in 121 BCE, then each 7-year-cycle of the two calendar systems (solar and lunar) would have continued to overlap together (between autumn and spring) for the distance of another 49-years.
It is here of special interest that both the jubilee-year of 571-570 BCE (the time of Ezekiel's vision) and the jubilee-year of 30-31 CE (the time after the crucifixion) may have occurred in alignment with a revolution of this respective long-time-cycle (of 600-years).

 Chronology of Jubilees Background about Jubilee years and when they happened. Believersweb.org
The year 135-134 BCE (or the year 177 of the Seleucid Era) was noted to be a 7th year in the writings of Flavius Josephus.
Because a jubilee year would hypothetically have been celebrated in the year 422-421 BCE (autumn-to-autumn), it is clear that the year when Ezra arrived at Jerusalem (autumn-to-autumn of 458-457 BCE) would have corresponded with a Sabbatical year of the 50-year cycle (the 2nd Sabbatical of the cited jubilee cycle).
It is here of special interest that both the jubilee year of 572-571 BCE (the time of Ezekiel's vision) and the jubilee year of 29-30 CE (the time after the crucifixion) may have both occurred in alignment with a revolution of this respective long-time-cycle of 600 years.

 Gela * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant
The city was rebuilt circa 337 BCE after Dionysius II was expelled from the island by the Greek commander, Timoleon, who made Syracuse his capital and, with the aid of Greek mercenaries, secured the eastern portion of Sicily as a Greek enclave.
After Timoleon’s death, the rule of Syracuse was entrusted to an oligarchy of six hundred citizens; in 311 BCE, after twenty five years of oligarchic government, the tyrant, Agathokles (Agathocles), came to power and, as revenge for assisting the oligarchy in his oppression, Agathokles had thousands of the inhabitants of Gela put to death.
Circa 281 BCE Gela was razed by pirates and the surviving citizens moved to the city of Phintias (modern Licata); Gela remained mostly uninhabited until 1233 CE when it was renamed by Frederick II as Terranova di Sicilia; the city again became Gela in 1928.

Idriaeus (351-344 BCE)- he died of disease and was succeeded by his sister and wife Ada (who later became Queen of Alinda), but she was expelled by her brother Pixodarus, who threw in his lot with the Persians inviting in a Persian Satrap Othontapates (Orontobates?) This satrap was ruling when Alexander arrived in 334.
In 500 BCE the tyrant of Mylasa was Oliatus, son of Ibanollis.
In 167 BCE they revolted from the Rhodians and were soon thereafter declared free by the Romans once more.Under the Pax Romana Mylasa flourished and brought under her control in the name of 'Sympolity' the cities of Euromos, Chalcetor, Hydae, Olympos and Labraynda, and their citizenry were alloted to her own tribes.

 Epochs and Eras
In the fourth century BCE, Egyptian astronomers began to use an era based on the reign of the Babylonian king Nabonassar, which came to power in 747 BCE.
In Syria the year began in autumn, thus the era is in autumn 312 BCE, while in Babylon the first year of this counting began in spring 311 BCE, half a year later than in Syria.
This Era (the Capitolinian Era) begins with the year 752 BCE and was used in lists of consuls, which began their terms on 15 March, the civil year beginning on 1 January already.

 New Testament Chronology - Calendars from the Exile to the First Century BCE
In the fifth century BCE the Exile calendar of the Jews was for a time identical with the Babylonian calendar.
Then, by the end of the fourth century BCE the Macedonian calendar of the Seleucid Era was supposed identical with the Babylonian calendar, except that the Syro-Macedonian version began the new year in the fall, Dios 1.
The dating in 1 Maccabees is often understood that Syrian events used the Syro-Macedonian Seleucid Era from the fall of 312 BCE, and Jewish events used the Babylonian Seleucid Era from the spring of 311 BCE.

 Arezzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Etruscan remains establish that the acropolis of San Cornelio, a small hill next to that of San Donato, was occupied and fortified in the Etruscan period.
Increasing trade connections with Greece also brought some elite goods to the Etruscan nobles of Arezzo: the krater painted by Euphronios ca 510 BCE with a battle against Amazons (in the Museo Civico, Arezzo 1465) is unsurpassed.
Conquered by the Romans in 311 BCE, Arretium became a military station on the via Cassia, the road to expansion by republican Rome into the basin of the Po.

 ch4jubilee3.htm
Because a jubilee year would hypothetically have been celebrated in the year 422-421 BCE (autumn-to-autumn), it is clear that the year when Ezra arrived at Jerusalem (autumn-to-autumn of 458-457 BCE) would have corresponded with a Sabbatical year of the 50-year cycle (the 2nd Sabbatical of the jubilee cycle).
It appears from the accounts of the Maccabees that for two or three years prior to 150 BCE the Greeks had prohibited the Jews from practicing their custom of celebrating a scheduled Sabbatical year.
Because the location of both of the jubilee years (or 50th years) in 177-176 BCE and 122-121 BCE are manifest from the cited historical cases, the instances of all the intervening Sabbaticals are easy to verify.

 History of Iran: Roxane (Roshanak), Bactrian princess and official wife of Alexander the Great
In the years 330-327 BCE, we see Alexander appointing Persians in important functions, dress himself like an Iranian nobleman, introduce the oriental court ritual (proskynesis).
The marriage was concluded according to the local customs (click here for a description), and Roxane followed her husband when he invaded India (326 BCE) and returned to Babylonia (325-324 BCE).
For several years, she and her son were safe, but one of the rival commanders, Cassander, captured them in 316.

This is important because the Archaic Greek alphabet had the 27 letters needed to support the three enneads of a complete number system, and it was used this way throughout antiquity (even after three of the letters were no longer used for ordinary writing).
Much later, early in the first millenium BCE, under influence from the (22 letter) Phoenician alphabet, the Greeks reorganized their alphabet and borrowed the Phoenician names of those 22 letters (aleph -> alpha, etc.), and their order (non-Phoenician letters were moved to the end).

 JNUL Ketubbot Collection - Introduction to the collection
Even the marriage contract written in Aramaic on papyrus during the reign of Artaxerses, King of Persia, in the fifth century BCE (see A. Cowley, Oxford Aramaic Papyri, no. 15) bears a strong resemblance to later ketubbot, which are also written in Aramaic until the present day.
The purpose of the marriage contract is to regulate the legal and financial relations of husband and wife.
From the Second Temple period onwards, ketubbot were dated by minyan shtarot, the counting of years since the founding of the Seleucid monarchy (312/311 BCE).

The second possibility is that Daniel 9 does refer to the end of the Second Temple period and the conventional dating is correct.
If we date the destruction of the Second Temple at 587 BCE and count 490 years, we come up with the date 97 BCE - a year that has no particular significance in the history of the Temple or in Jewish history in general.
It is a well known fact, for instance, that the First Temple was destroyed in 586 and the Second Temple consecrated in 516 BCE and destroyed in 70 CE.

 An Arrant Aramean
When Alexander the Great's Middle-Eastern conquests were divided among his generals at the Battle of Rafah in 311 BCE, the Jews of the Holy Land found themselves on the boundary of two rival empires: the Seleucids centered in Syria, and the Ptolemies in Egypt.
During the latter third century and early second century BCE, Judea was under the dominion of the Ptolemies.
According to the hypothesis we are discussing, their delicate political situation made it awkward for the Jews to be outspoken about expounding the literal message of the Haggadah, in which the Egyptian leadership are cast as reprehensible villains and their resounding defeat is the occasion for a major religious celebration.
