Judaiques, Guerre des Juifs) mentionnant certains membres de cette famille très en vue. // The ossuary acquired in 1984 by the Israeli Department of Antiquity and Museums has an Aramaic inscription which reads: "Yehohanah. Yehohanah daughter of Yehohanah, son of Theophilus, the high priest." Theophilus must be identified with the high priest appointed by Vitellius during the three days before he received the news of the death of Tiberius, cf. Josephus, AJ XVIII, 123-124."
