The abstract for the last, by Knights, reads:
In this article the author revisits the ‘History of the Rechabites’, chs. 8–10 of the Story of Zosimus, a text he first studied in the 1980s, in the light of the work done on the text more recently by Nikolsky and Davila. He looks more closely at the reasons why the text may or may not be Jewish and concludes that, despite his earlier published views, it is more likely to be a Christian composition than a Jewish one.
Dr Knights kindly sent me an offprint of this one. My work on the Story of Zosimus from 2003 is online here and here.
