Which was the son of Mattathias
Surnamed Siloah, by the same Philo, who governed ten years:
which was the son of Amos ;
whose surname, according to the same author, was Sirag; or, as some, Syrach, or Shyrach, who governed fourteen years:
which was the son of Naum ;
who was called Mesalut, or Maslot, who governed seven years:
which was the son of Esli ;
or Eli, surnamed Haggai, who governed eight years;
which was the son of Nagge :
with Philo he is called Nagid Artasat, or Artaxat, and said to govern ten years.
