  === Life Sketch ===
  YEHEZQIVAH [ANDROTIMUS], son of Nuri (above), governor 348-345, circa 348-345BC. He married a foreign princess [the sister of Bagaos, the former governor] and begot Neariah (Nearchus), a later governor (below). He was banished from Judea by the Persian Shah and took refuge in Crete. From there, he went to Greece, where he adopted a Greek name and its Hellenistic culture. He was the first Jewish prince to have an Hellenistic name. He was considered an important prince, for his son Nearchus was educated in the royal court alongside the Greek crown-prince Alexander ["The Great"], who was about the same age. As governor, Yehezqivah [Androtimus] introduced into Judea "foreign customs", which was the Hellenistic culture [of course], for he had been Hellenized during his sojourn in Greece. He appears back in Judea in 337, but is back in Greece the following year (336). He was killed in battle against the Persians in 333BC.
