  === Life Sketch ===
  NEARIAH "NASI", the Jewish "Nasi" ["Prince"], "of Nehemiah's Family", governor 330bc-d312, may be identified with Nearchus, the Jewish general of Alexander "The Great", who commanded a Jewish contingent in the Greek Army. He was the son of the late Jewish governor YEHEZQIVAH [ANDROTIMUS] and his "foreign" wife. Greece opened hostilities with the Persian Empire by invading Asia Minor in Year 334BC. Proceeding onto Egypt, Alexander "The Great" left the conquest of Canaan/Palestine to his general, Parmenio, supported by the Jewish general Nerachus (Neariah), who had joined his service. He like his father also married a "foreign-woman", namely, Barsine, the half-sister and widow of the Greek prince Heracles [son of Alexander "The Great" by one of his secondary wives], who had among her ancestors Persian shahs, Babylonian emperors, and Assyrian kings, whose blood she brought into this particular descent-line of King David’s descendants. The names of the sons and daughters of Nearchus are unknown, however, we know that one of his daughters was the wife of the Greek prince Demetrius, son of his ally and friend Antigonus. Nearchus' eldest son, name unsure, died premature without issue, however, another of his sons was the father of Abiud, who was the ancestor of a major descent-line, and, of St. Joseph, Jesus' foster-father, mentioned by Matthew (1:13), who highly abbreviated his genealogy even leaving out not only the name of Abiud's father but also three generations of Jewish kings (compare Mt 1:8 with 2 Ki 8:25; 13:1-15; 38; 2 Chr 22-25), and omitted Jehoiakim between Josiah and [Je]Coniah (Mt 1:11), etc. Nearchus campaigned with Alexander "The Great" in India, and commanded the voyage down the Indus River from Nov. 326 to Jul. 325. Then, following the death of Alexander "The Great" in 323BC, during the wars of the "Diadochi", Nearchus supported "Prince" Heracles, his step- son, that is, his wife's son by Alexander "The Great", and Nearchus joined up with another Greek general, Antigonus, a Greek prince, whom he assisted against [his cousin] Ptolemy, Satrap [later King] of Egypt, who defeated them both in the Battle of Gaza/or Palestine (312BC). Barsine, the widow of Nerachus, and her son Heracles, were murdered by Polyperchon, another Greek prince, one of the pretenders to the Greek throne, in 309BC, who was fighting for a share of Alexander's inheritance.
  In Jerusalem, the quisling Jewish aristocracy was culturally Hellenized by the influence of Greek commerce, language, and culture.
  There is evidence that members of other Davidic families had returned to Jerusalem from exile by this time, and were presenting themselves as candidates to the patriarchate office or "nasi" ["prince" of Judah/or Israel], which office some of them held during the quarrels between the twin branches of the senior-line over the principate/ patriarchate; and the office came to be open to all of the representatives of the different descent-lines of King David’s descendants. Hence, the royal bloodline was kept in tact and a line of Judaic kings "de jure" proliferated at Jerusalem with the title "Prince of Israel", that is, the Jewish Palestinian "Nesi'im". The struggle for the patriarchate among the various Davidic families ["gens davidica"] may have contributed to the country’s disintegration during the 3rd Century BC, along with the Hellenization [or "westernization"] of the country’s culture, which caused divisions in the nation, and the rise of political parties in the court of the Jewish Palestinian "Nesi'im", which gradually grew into an institution of state, the Sanhedrin; like the British Parliament originally was the "royal court" of medieval British monarchs, however, also, has gradually grown into an institution of state.

  Nearchus or Nearchos (Greek: Νέαρχος; c. 360 – 300 BC) was one of the officers, a navarch, in the army of Alexander the Great. He is known for his celebrated expeditionary voyage starting from the Indus River, through the Persian Gulf and ending at the mouth of the Tigris River following the Indian campaign of Alexander the Great, in 326–324 BC. A native of Lato in Crete and son of Androtimus, his family settled at Amphipolis in Macedonia at some point during Philip II's reign (we must assume after Philip took the city in 357 BC), at which point Nearchus was probably a young boy. He was almost certainly older than Alexander, as were Ptolemy, Erigyius, and the others of the ‘boyhood friends’; so depending on when Androtimus came to Macedonia Nearchus was quite possibly born in Crete. Nearchus, along with Ptolemy, Erigyius and Laomedon, and Harpalus, was one of Alexander's ‘mentors’ – and he was exiled by Philip as a result of the Pixodarus affair (A 3.6.5; P 10.4). It is not known where the exiles went, but they were recalled only after Philip's death, on Alexander's accession. After their recall, these men were held in the highest honour. Nearchus was appointed as satrap of Lycia and Pamphylia in 334/3 BC (A 3.3.6), one of the earliest of Alexander's satrapal appointments. Nearchus' naval blockade of Persian fleets threatening the Aegean Sea was successful in aiding Alexander's conquest of Phoenicia, Egypt and Babylonia. In 328 BC he was relieved of his post and rejoined Alexander in Bactria (northern Afghanistan), bringing with him reinforcements (A 4.7.2; C 7.10.4, but does not mention Nearchus himself). After the siege of Aornos in present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, Nearchus was sent at the head of a reconnaissance mission – especially to find out about elephants (A 4.30.5–6).
