Hermione of Antigonea
This daughter-in-law of Ptolmaï, the steward of Lazarus, resides in Antigonea. She is the daughter of Alpheus, a proselyte, and of Myrtica, a Greek from the Alexandroscene of Phoenicia. There she still has three brothers who will welcome Jesus: Daniel, Philip and Elijah.
Hermione, who married Dosithée, is the mother of four children: Lazarus, Alpheus, Myrtica, and Hermas.
This "misalliance" does not please Ptolmaï at all,[1] and Hermione's brothers are concerned about how she may be treated.[2]
