Trison the Sanhedrist
Come see, accompanied by Doro, Lazarus in Bethany with an entire delegation of Sanhedrists and Pharisees, sympathizers, curious or hostile[1]. His name, Trison, may come from a typo since he is called Trifon the next time, which seems to correspond more to reality.
He is found in the same company at Lazarus' funeral.[2]

Works of the Lemann brothers
Mgr Augustin Lemann, 1836–1909 and Mgr Joseph Lemann, 1836–1915, Jews converted, in "Value of the assembly that pronounced the death sentence Against Jesus Christ" (1877), thus present "'Tryphon son of Theudion":He was sent along with three others: John son of John, Dorotheus son of Bartholomew (Nathaniel) the Apostle, and Cornelius son of Ceron, as deputies to Emperor Claudius by the Jews of Jerusalem, in the year 44, under Governor Cuspius Fadus. The emperor mentions them in the letter he sent to this governor, which Josephus preserved for us. It is very likely that they or their fathers sat in the chamber of elders, as the Jews never chose anyone for embassies except the most skilled members of the Sanhedrin.
