Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [3]
a name twice occurring in the Apocrypha, but in both cases by interpolation.
1. ( Ἀδδούς , perhaps for Addon.) One of the "children of Solomon ’ s servants," whose sons are said to have returned from Babylon ( 1 Esdras 5:34 ); but the genuine text ( Ezra 2:51 ) has no such name.
2. ( Ι᾿αδδού , as if for Jaddua.) A priest, after the captivity, who is said to have married a daughter of Berzelus, and hence assumed his name ( 1 Esdras 5:38 ); evidently a corruption for BARZILLAI (q.v.) of the genuine text ( Ezra 2:61 ).
