(Σανασίβ , v.r. Σαναβίς, Ἀνασείβ ), A head of the priests, "the sons of Jeddu, the son of Jesus," who are said to have returned, to the number of 972, with Zerubbabel from the captivity (1 Esdras 5:24); evidently the 973 "children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua," in the Heb. texts (Ezra 2:36; Nehemiah 7:39), the name Sanasib having been repeated for the "Senaah" (Esdras, "Annaas") of the preceding verse.
