[Verginius Rufus]

There is a Muslim calendar which starts in A.D. 622 (the Hegira, or Muhammad's flight from Mecca to Medina), but since the Muslim year is about 11 days shorter than a solar year, it wouldn't be very practical to use.

Since they are talking about a synagogue from the early Roman period, why not use Roman dates? "A.U.C. 700 to 900" (counting from the founding of Rome in 753 B.C.). Or use Olympiads and get everyone totally confused.
