1. Josephus's Passover count (War 6.422-425)
   255,600 x 10 = 2,556,000  (Josephus says 2,700,000)
   excess of stated total over his own product: 144,000
   255,600 x 20 (his upper company size) = 5,112,000

2. Siege totals
   Josephus dead / Tacitus besieged = 1.8
   Sulpicius captives / Josephus prisoners = 1

3. Masada in Josephus's cubits
   cubit 0.45 m:  Leuce gap 300 = 135 m;  bank 200 = 90 m;  bank+platform 250 = 112.5 m;  +tower 60 = 139.5 m
   bank + platform = 250 cubits, 50 short of the 300-cubit gap;  the 60-cubit tower overtops it by 10.

4. Roth's siege-work volumes
   ramp = 37,500 m3 (Roth:  about 37,500)
   circumvallation = 22,275 m3 (Roth:  about 23,000)
   camps = 15,000 m3 (Roth:  15,000);  wall + camps = 37,275 m3 (Roth:  close to 38,000)

5. Masada remains
   28 found / 960 = 2.9 %

6. Dio 68.32
   Cyrene 220,000 + Cyprus 240,000 = 460,000 (rebels' victims, Egypt not counted)

7. Dio 69.14.1
   580,000 / 985 villages = 588.8 killed per village razed

8. Eusebius's fifteen bishops
   62 to 135:  5.2 years per bishop after James
   after Symeon (c. 107) to 135:  13 bishops in 28 years = 2.2 years each
