Palestinian Prophets Targum variant-copy layer v1 ยท Draft
A Prophets Targum stream visible through extracts and another-copy notes.
This article describes an entity that is not directly attested as an extant complete Targum copy; it is inferred from source-citation traces and should not be read as ordinary documentation of a surviving Palestinian Prophets Targum manuscript.
Epistemic status
Draft article. The extract and marginal-variant evidence is source-backed, but the underlying copy layer remains inferential.
Summary
Jewish Encyclopedia describes eighty extracts from the Targum Yerushalmi, marginal variants, and notes from another copy of the Targum. Inferpedia treats this as a Palestinian Prophets Targum variant-copy layer.
What is being inferred
The inferred entity is a variant-copy stream behind the Palestinian Prophets Targum extracts and margins.
What is attested
The source attests extracts, marginal variants, and another-copy notes.
Why infer this entity
Another-copy notes point beyond a single printed or excerpted witness toward a lost transmission layer.
Evidence ledger
- E1, Jewish Encyclopedia: supporting trace for extract evidence.
- E2, Jewish Encyclopedia: supporting trace for marginal variants.
- E3, Jewish Encyclopedia: supporting trace for another-copy wording.
Counterarguments
The material may be a mixed marginal apparatus rather than one coherent independent copy.
Confidence scores
Direct attestation: 54. Existence warrant: 78. Specificity: 72. Reconstruction dependence: 82. Counterevidence: 22.
What would change the score
Manuscript-level study of the Prophets Targum extracts and marginal variants would change the score.
Why this candidate exists
Codex-native Judaism category traversal selected a variant-copy transmission layer rather than an ordinary extant Targum text.

Paraphrase: Offline judge treated existing inferon 375 (source_dependence) as support for Palestinian Prophets Targum variant-copy layer. Evidence strength: source-backed prior reading already isolated a bounded missing or reconstructed entity; suitable for L2 only. The accountable path is EvidencePath 1592.

Arguments
Existing inferon 375 supports an L2 inferred candidate for Palestinian Prophets Targum variant-copy layer; this remains below publication and is not direct attestation.
AI-assessed L2 Quotient triage: AI judge warrant assessment for L2 Quotient triage; existing AI-created evidence remains below publication.
A Palestinian Prophets Targum variant-copy layer is warranted as a source-backed draft transmission entity.
The another-copy trace is concrete, but the shape of the variant layer needs manuscript-level control.
