title: Onias I
text: Onias I was the son of the Jaddua mentioned in Nehemiah. According to Josephus, this Jaddua is said to have been a contemporary of Alexander the Great. I Maccabees regards Onias as a contemporary of the Spartan king Areus I. "Josephus is... mistaken in placing it in the time of Onias III instead of Onias I, who was high priest c. 300 B.C.." Simon the Just extolled in the Wisdom of Sirach and in legend was probably the son of Onias I or, according to some, of the latter's grandson Onias II.
