The next verse brings us to Golgotha, which is translated by the three Evangelists, who give it as meaning 'the place of a skull. The name may have been given to the place of execution with grim suggestiveness; or, more probably, Conder's suggested identification is plausible, which points to a little, rounded, skull-shaped knoll, close outside the northern wall, as the site of the crucifixion.
Would that like reticence had checked the ill-timed eloquence of preachers and teachers of later days! I. We have the ghastly details of the crucifixion. Conder's suggestion of the site of Calvary as a little knoll outside the city, seems possible.
To cut through a pile of copper coins without nicking the blade is, or was, a common feat. History, tradition, and romance alike re-echo with the exploits of this wonderful weapon." For an exhaustive analysis see Brinkley's China and Japan. *See Conder's History of Japanese Costume; Vol. IX. of the "Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan."
Here, as in the case of Gath and elsewhere, he quotes what was the hearsay identification current at the time he visited these places. See an article by C.R. Conder on "Early Christian Topography" in the Quarterly Statements of the Palestine Exploration Fund for 1876, p.16. Cf. The Ancient Hebrew Tradition, by Prof. Fr. See Conder's Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.
See also Conder's account of the visit of His Majesty the King, when Prince of Wales, to the Haram at Hebron. See Baedeker's Palestine and Syria, p. 309; Rapoport's Erech Milin, p. 54; also a preliminary notice on the Necropolis of Maresha in P.E.F.Q.S., Oct., 1902, p. 393. The passage in A and all printed editions as to Shunem and Toron de Los Caballeros is corrupt.
