Magness (2005) notes that Moshe Dothan interpreted the evidence from his excavations to suggest that the Stratum IIB synagogue at Hammath Tiberias was destroyed in the Eusebius' Martyr Quake (303–306 CE). Magness, however, places the end of Stratum IIB more generally in the fourth century CE and does not attribute its destruction to an earthquake. Weiss (2009:338) likewise questioned the existence of two clearly distinct phases for the Stratum II synagogue, stating that "there is no reason to assume that the [Stratum II] Hammath Tiberias synagogue had two distinctly different stages." Instead, he proposed that the building experienced a series of internal modifications during its period of use and that the remodeling attributed by Dothan to the Eusebius' Martyr Quake (303–306 CE) should instead be dated later, "some time after the earthquake, most probably in the second half of the fourth century C.E."
