This study applies the methods of comparative philology to two textual corpora: the text ofthe Tel Dan Stele and the Psalms of Solomon, without presupposing any prior dating. It identifies 17shared thematic occurrences distributed across 7 distinct psalms, a convergence of syntactic structurebetween Ps. Sol. 8:15–16 and Tel Dan ll. 3–5, and 6 structural silences systematically bearing on themost distinctive messianic themes of the psalmic corpus. The application of the three standard criteriaof comparative philology (density, coherence of silences, and asymmetry of complexity) leads toclassifying the Psalms of Solomon as the anterior corpus in the direction of thematic transfer. Thisrelative chronological classification constitutes an independent argument for dating, subject to explicitconditions of falsifiability.
