A Prophets Targum stream visible through extracts and another-copy notes.

This is a visible L4 draft/review article, not an L5 published Inferpedia article. The publication state is part of the audit trail.

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

Abductive - warrant 78

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.

Textual stemmatic - warrant 78

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.
