Dositeus of Antigonea
He is the third son of Ptolemy, the steward of Lazarus in Antioch. He married Hermione, daughter of a proselyte and a Greek. This "mixed covenant" does not make Ptolemy happy:
"My son saw her at Alexandroscene in Phoenicia, when he was there on business… and wanted her… and Lazarus did not object, on the contrary he said to me: “Better so than debauched”. And it is better. But I wanted someone with Jewish blood…"[1]
His name[edit | edit source]
From the Greek Dosis: Gift and Theos: God - meaning the "gift of God," thus the equivalent in Greek etymology of the Latin Goddonné.
