Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [3]

( Νηρίας ), the Graecized form ( Baruch 1:1) of the name of NERIAH (See Neriah) (q.v.), the father of Seraiah and Baruch ( Jeremiah 45:1;  Jeremiah 51:59).

Another Nerias or Neriah is mentioned by Josephus (Ant. 10:9, 6), and also by the Jewish record Seder Olam, as a high-priest, son of Uriah and father of Odeas or Hosaiah; but the reference is probably to Azariah 15 ( 2 Chronicles 31:10). (See High-Priest).
