Johanan (exilarch)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johanan was a Jewish Exilarch of the 2nd century AD[1] succeeding his brother Nahum.[2] according to the Seder Olam Zutta. He is either the son or descendant of Akkub,[3] although more likely he is the son of Ahijah.[4] The date of his tenure is disputed.[5]
