literary and/or epigraphic references to synagogues

Christian Alexander

I have tried doing a search to find literary and/or epigraphic references to synagogues in the Jewish diaspora in Rome. I have not been very successful. Can someone read my search strings and tell me what I am doing wrong with my format? 

First I did a factbook entry for synagogue. 

Next, I did an all search

I thought Dave Had already done this - crossing out all that require both literary and epigraphic and putting parens around them. Go back and check that you didn't already ask this.

This question also shows a very basic lack of understanding of the AND and OR operators and the order of operations (use of parens). I need some time to think as to what to recommend that will not only cover the material necessary but will also force you to slow down to guarantee comprehension of what you read.
