So, Hopkins' first view (later changed?) plus Pete's proposed deflection to David

I asked you earlier -- and I now repeat my request -- whether you are able to find a copy of an article you yourself cited on your published article:
"7 vs. 8: The Battle Over the Holy Day at Dura-Europos"

Here are the details once again:
Or can anyone else locate this article? ThanksStephenGoranson wrote:

The quotation does not match my memory of what I thought I read. Is it possible a memory could ever be mistaken?

But seriously, I've seen paraphrases of what Clark Hopkins wrote on the murals show up in the literature on the site, including his own book, The Discovery of Dura Europos, from 1979. I wanted to see the original (or at least earliest attested version).

Re: Dura Europos
The proposition is that the interpretation of the artistic themes, motifs and subject matter of the murals in the "Religious Room" of this house - each considered in isolation - is a notoriously subjective exercise.StephenGoranson wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 7:31 am So, Hopkins' first view (later changed?) plus Pete's proposed deflection to David

David's shipwreck!????
This subjectivity is mitigated by two rather more "objective "evidence" / claims":
1) The MINOR objective claim: The demonstrable claim that the mural of David and Goliath contains Greek captions explicitly naming both David and Goliath, and that at least we know we are looking at David and Goliath. David is holding a sword and not Peter.
2) The MAJOR objective claim: Hopkin's (I argue doubtful) claim that the sacred abbreviated Christian Trade Mark name (i.e. "nomina sacra") of Christ is twice present on inscriptions "in the room", A claim that many of the prominent "Biblical Historians and Scholars" of the 1930's flocked around in order to convince themselves that Hopkins had indeed discovered the earliest known Christian "baptistry". And that a Christian art appreciation of the murals could be justified.
Preliminary Report
p.250
Fourteen baptistries discovered in Northern Syria and only half dated. Only two are dated earlier than the 6th century, to the first half of the 5th.
p.251
To judge from the literary evidence, a baptistry would be one of
the first architectural features erected in a meeting place for Christians,
and its establishment in a private house would cause no surprise. We
have already noticed that Peter at Antioch baptized more than ten
thousand in seven days yet used a private residence for his teachings.

Re: Dura Europos
It's a fucking church with pictures from the gospel. Not complicated.
