Oniares
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
(Ο᾿νιάρης ), a name that appears in 1 Maccabees 12:20 as the author or director of the letter of the Lacedaemonians to Onias; but it is evidently a corruption for Onias (Ο᾿νίᾷ Ἀρεῖος, the latter name repeated from the following verse). See Josephus, Ant. 12:4, 10.
