5 An example of a Jew complaining to a State court because he had been illegally condemned by a Jewish court is given in the Bavli, Berakhot 58a; the use of the Middle Persian technical term pursišn-nāmag “transcript of criminal court proceedings” as a loan-word in the context of criminal proceedings in the Talmud also indicates that severe cases were tried in Sasanian, not Jewish, courts; see Macuch, Maria, “Iranian Legal Terminology in the Babylonian Talmud in the Light of Sasanian Jurisprudence,” in Irano-Judaica IV (Jerusalem, 1999), 98100.Google Scholar
