Abstract:
A tiny Qumran Cave 4 fragment (IAA Plate 76 frag. 15) preserves the oldest transliteration in Hebrew letters of the name Aristobulus. The fragment probably derives from a historical record describing events around the Roman conquest, and the use of the Greek name for Aristobulus II agrees with the thesis that he did not have a Hebrew name.
