(rather Acud, Ἀκοὐδ by erroneous transcription for Ἀκοὐβ, Acub, 1 Esdras 5:31), the progenitor of one of the families of the temple-servants

(ίερόδουλοι . i.e. Nethinim), said to have returned from the captivity (1 Esdras 5:30); evidently the AKKUB (See AKKUB) (q.v.) of the parallel texts (Ezra 2:45, or rather, Ezra 2:42; comp. Nehemiah 7:48, where the name is not found).
