Why would the Latin speaking Romans and the Aramaic speaking Jews need an interpreter, since we are told by some of these Greek textual critics that everyone spoke Greek at the time. : )
On what Josephus says was the case, he may or may not be correct about that. Unfortunately we can't take everything that he says with absolute certainty. There may indeed have been something put up there.
For instance what is Mshikha speaking of in Mark 13:14? Break that verse down and see what is said there. Pretty interesting.
I wonder if you think it's possible that what happened with Antiochus IV could be what the prophecy in Daniel is speaking of, and that perhaps what happened with the Romans as well may be what some call a double fulfillment.
I'll take a look at the other thing in Daniel 9:27 a bit later. Thanks for the discussions.

In the meantime, look at Daniel 11:31, which might provide some answers. I haven't looked at the Peshitta OT yet, but here is how it is rendered in the English Standard Version.
"Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate."
Look at Mark 13:14 and see if there is anything relating to this in the Aramaic text. Pay special attention to the word ܐܬܐ with its possible meanings.

Also, compare Mark 13:14 with what is recorded in Luke 21:20-21. It is a key to unlock the mystery.
