Hello
Does anyone know where one can find a language atlas showing the
different languages / dialects and overlaps for 1st Century Palestine?
If a map form doesn't exist (likely) then an article would be fine.

For example I've heard it said that Greek was spoken more in Galilee
than Judea, that Samaritans spoke less a different Aramaic to Jews,
etc. etc., What about rich and poor? Pharisees, Saducees, Herodians,
Scribes, Centurions, schools, synagogues...? Where can one get a reliable
overview of the subject?
Thanks
Steven
