Josephus has gone missing

For many years Logos has included Josephus in base packages, even at a fairly low level (Silver I believe). they have included a public domain English translation and some base packages even included it in Greek (e.g. Academic base packages).

I can no longer see Josephus listed in the base packages comparison page (https://www.logos.com/compare/libraries). Is this an oversight in the listing or does Logos not include Josephus in base packages any longer? It seems strange for them to no longer include a public domain work for which they already have the Logos edition.

I ask my seminary students to consult the English translation of Josephus's Antiquities in Logos for a New Testament class homework assignment. I know I can direct students to the many websites that include this for free. But I want students to learn how to consult Logos for such questions.

I would like to know if I can no longer count on students to have Josephus in their Logos library, so I can make changes in my assignment.

    The packages are regularly reworked so that there is always new material coming in and out of packages. However, there are a bunch of these resources in "academic standard."

    A lot of packages have Josephus

    It is great to know that it is included in all of the Academic base packages. So I should be OK including it in a homework assignment.

    It is interesting that FL removed it from any of the Standard base packages, but it is in a low a package as Silver Orthodox. They used to included it in as low as Bronze Standard.

    I hadn't noticed the omission, but find it curious as many lay people have heard about Josephus so I would expect to find him in most of the base packages starting at least at the Bronze level. (Look! It's got Josephus!)
