Bar Kokhba's contracts

Rental contracts from the Bar Kokhba administration are dated against the sabbatical year. It is the sixth attestation and the last.

In plain words

Rental contracts from Bar Kokhba's rebel government are dated by the sabbatical year: the sixth and last witness. The seven-year release is documented running for three centuries on the firmest witnesses, and four and a half if Josephus's story of Alexander is counted.

The mechanism

RELEASE, OBSERVED — the fast cycle is documented running for about three centuries, Bethsura to Bar Kokhba (four and a half from Josephus's Alexander), in six independent witnesses across three evidence classes.
