Author: Sievers, Joseph
Pages: 7-8
Type: Generic
Year: 1984/85
Abstract: "The idea that the Hebrew names of the Hasmonean rulers can be reconstructed on the principle that each Greek name was always paired with the same Hebrew ""equivalent"" (so that e.g. the Hebrew name of Aristobulus II was Judas after Aristobulus I/Judas) is greatly weakened by the case of Aristobulus III/Jonathan (see Josephus, War 1:437; Ant. 15:51-56). - D.J.H."
