Numbering systems
There are two major systems for numbering the works of Josephus. William Whiston used Book, Chapter, and Paragraph numbers, whereas Benedikt Niese's system used in Loeb Classical Library uses Book and Section numbers. Sometimes Whiston's paragraph numbers are also referred to as section numbers.

Catholic Biblical Quarterly's guidelines on citing Josephus state: "A complete reference to Josephus should conclude with the paragraph number(s) in the Niese system, preceded by §: Josephus B.J. 2.8.13 §160; neither the Niese number alone (e.g., Josephus B.J. §160) nor the Niese number with partial omission of what should precede (e.g., Josephus B.J. 2.8 §160 or 2.8.160) is sufficient."
