Gennaeus; Genneus
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
ge -nē´us , ge -nē´us ( Γενναῖος , Gennaı́os ): Father of Apollonius, one of the Syrian generals who troubled the Jews while Lysias was governor for Antiochus Eupator (2 Macc 12:2). The description is added to distinguish the Apollonius here mentioned from several others of the same name. See APOLLONIUS . There is no need with Luther to take the name simply as an adjective "des edlen Apollonius." The name occurs elsewhere as a proper name.
