<p> (Εὐπόλεμος, good us war, a frequent [[Greek]] name), the "son of John, the son of [[Accos]] (q.v.), one of the envoys sent to [[Rome]] by [[Judas]] Maccabaeus, B.C. cir. 161, to negotiate an alliance with then Romans (1 [[Maccabees]] 8:17; Josephus, Ant. 12:10, 6). He has been identified (Euseb. Praep. Eu. 9:17 sq.) with the historian of the same name (Josephus, Apion, 1:23), who wrote several works on the affairs of the [[Jews]] (Kuhlusey, Eupolemi fragmenta, Berlin, 1840, 8vo); but it is by no means clear that the historian was of [[Jewish]] descent (yet comp. Jerome, de Vir. Illustr. 38). His father, John (q.v.), is spoken of as having procured special privileges for the Jews from the [[Syrian]] kings (2 Maccabees 4:11). </p> | |||
