(Διοσκορίνθιος, Vulg. Dioscorus) occurs in 2 Maccabees 11:21, as the name of a Graeco-Seleucid month. Inasmuch as Dius (Δῖος ) is the name of a well-known Macedonian month (the first of the year), which Josephus (Ant. 1:3, 3) says corresponds with the Jewish Miarchesvan, the name has been regarded (see Wernsdorf, Defide Maccab. page 32) as a corruption (through the form Διόσκουρος ) for that month (Scaliger, Emend. Temp. 2:94), and by others as an intercalary month (but see Ideler, Chronolog. 1:399). (See MONTH).
