Are you so ignorant that you do not know that no one spoke Hebrew except for scholars by the time of the Roman occupation? Aramaic and Greek were the common languages of Roman Palestine.
Do you also not know that Greek became so important in the region that Judea's Hasmonean rulers used the Greek title basileus ("king")?
And do you really think Josephus wrote after the Bar Kokhba revolt? He did not.
What do you think Jews and Samaritans called the greater region?
