Geron

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

Geron should possibly appear as a proper name in 2Ma 6:1 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘an old man of Athens’; RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘Geron an Athenian’).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]

gē´run ( Γέρων , Gérōn ): Not much seems to be gained by translating with the Revised Version, margin "Geron, an Athenian," for "an old man of Athens" in   2 Maccabees 6:1 .
