Thanks, Dave, for the detailed explanation.
I still wonder whether the Aramaic word for cross means a shape like the typical cross found in a Cnristian Church. Is there is there a simple answer for those who think it was actually a post? When we see the NT phase "take up your cross", I wonder why First Century Jews would use this expression if it refers to something Roman?
