ANTIOCHIANS ( 2Ma 4:9; 2Ma 4:19 ). The efforts of Antiochus Epiphanes to spread Gr. culture and Gr. customs throughout his dominions were diligently furthered by a section of, the Jews. The leader of this Hellenizing party, Jason, brother of the high priest Onias III., offered a large sum of money to Antiochus to induce the king to allow the inhabitants of Jerusalem ‘to be enrolled as Antiochians.’ Antiochus acceded to the proposal, and shortly afterwards a party of ‘Antiochians’ from Jerusalem was sent by him with a contribution of money for the festival of Heracles at Tyre.
