Josephus, Antiquities..., 17, 3, 1:
"When Archelaus was entered on his ethnarchy, and was come into Judea, he accused Joazar, the son of Boethus, of assisting the seditious, and took away the high priesthood from him, and put Eleazar his brother in his place..."
Ben --
Is there a reasonable way of getting from "Joazar" to "Jairus"?
It shurrrr would help a lot.

Re: Question for Ben
Ἰωάζαρος/Ἰωάζαρ = יוֹעֶזֶר = Joazar(us).
Ἰάϊρος/Ἰαϊρ = יָאִיר = Jair(us).
There is no etymological connection. You can judge from your own comfort level how close the names are for punning or confusion or such: YW'ZR versus YAYR.

OK, OK, OK.
Another Trail to follow. Something's going on here, tho' for now, I know not what.
In Younan's Peshitta Interlinear, "Jairus" is rendered "Yoarash" in Mark, and then "Ruler of the Assembly".
Again, as our Esteemed Ben states, "You can judge from your own comfort level how close the names are for punning or confusion or such: YW'ZR versus YAYR." Yes. 'N it shurrr would he'p if a reasonable Derivation could be plausibly posited leading from "Joazar" to "Jairus, a President of the Synagogue".
"When Archelaus was entered on his ethnarchy, and was come into Judea, he accused Joazar, the son of Boethus, of assisting the seditious, and took away the high priesthood from him, and put Eleazar his brother in his place..."
There's a lot here, in Sequence and in History.
Anyone else see anything here?
