(Νηρίας ), the Graecized form (Baruch 1:1) of the name of NERIAH (See NERIAH) (q.v.), the father of Seraiah and Baruch (Jeremiah 45:1; Jeremiah 51:59).
Another Nerias or Neriah is mentioned by Josephus (Ant. 10:9, 6), and also by the Jewish record Seder Olam, as a high-priest, son of Uriah and father of Odeas or Hosaiah; but the reference is probably to AZARIAH, 15 (2 Chronicles 31:10). (See HIGH-PRIEST).
