    A local tradition reported in the article places James preaching in Hispania on the Ebro at Caesaraugusta when the Virgin Mary appeared to him. This is a traditional asserted presence rather than independently contemporary evidence. Caesaraugusta is the Roman predecessor of Zaragoza; coordinates represent the historic Ebro riverfront near the traditional site. The presence claim is explicitly identified as local tradition.

    James's death in Jerusalem is the best-dated endpoint in his biography. Acts reports that Herod had James killed by the sword; the article identifies Jerusalem as his place of death in AD 44. Coordinates represent Jerusalem generally because the article's dated biographical entry specifies the city, while the traditional precise martyrdom site is separately identified.
