See Magen Broshi, Estimating the Population of Ancient Jerusalem, BAR 04:02; Joachim Jeremias, Jerusalem in the Time of Jesus (London: SCM Press, 1967) [=Jerusalem zur Zeit Jesus (Gottingen: Vandehoeck und Ruprecht, 1962)], p. 83, note 24: about 55,000 to 95,000. The smaller figure is the more probable and, with a different calculation, p. 84: This figure, of from 2530,000, must be the upper limit.
