Simeon bar Ezron

Simon bar Ezron (Aram. Shimon bar Ezron; Heb. Shimon ben Ezron) was a leader in the First Jewish–Roman War against the Roman Empire in the year 66 CE. He was a compatriot of the Zealot leader Eleazar ben Simon styled Ben Ari who led the Biryonim faction. He was of noble descent, and may be identical with Simeon ben Arinos, who also is mentioned in connection with Eleazar, and thus with Simeon ben Ari, to whose bravery Josephus alludes.
