Note 191 — Chapter XI · JUDAEA AND THE JEWS. (continued 2)

That the coins with this name belong to the Hadrianic insurrection is now proved (v. Sallet, Zeitschr. für Numism. v. 110); this is consequently the Rabbi Eleazar from Modein of the Jewish accounts (Ewald, Gesch. Isr. vii.2, 418; Schürer, Lehrbuch, p. 357). That the Simon whom these coins name partly with Eleazar, partly alone, is the Bar-Kokheba of Justin Martyr and Eusebius is at least very probable.
