GENERAL EXPLANAYIONS
(6) Synonymous Articles. -Persons or places of the same name are ranged as I, z, 3, etc.
(Arabic numerals), under a common heading and cited accordingly. In other cases (and even in
the former case when, as in ADNAH in c01. 67, one English spelling represents different Hebrew
spellings), the articles usually have separate headings, in which case they are cited as i., ii., iii., etc.
(Roman numerals), although they are not so marked. Usually geographical articles precede biographical,
and persons precede books. Thus SAMUEL i., 2 is the second person called Samuel;
SAMUEL ii. is the article SAMUEL, BOOKS OF. If a wrong number should be found the explanation
will be not that it was not verified, but that the article referred to is one of a very small number in
which the original order of synonymous articles had to be changed: the precautions always taken in
such circumstances must have failed in this case. Thus the BERED referred to in the article ALUSH
is now BERED i., I, not, as is stated in the earlier impressions, BERED ii., I.
ii. /ndi
