Yosef Dhu Nuwas, a Sadducean King with Sidelocks.
By Ben Abrahamson and Joseph Katz
Published 2007
Abstract:
Traces the history and fortunes of the hellenizing Jewish family of the Tobiads from their Persian roots, to their founding of a petty kingdom at ‘Iraq al-Amir, to the nabatean wars, to the Tubba kings of Himyar; explores 3rd to 5th century Arabia as an extension of the Second Commonwealth, and a direct descendant of the Tobiad petty kingdom; also covers his loss of a replica of the Ark of the Covenant adorned even today with the Tobiad/Himyar dove, now buried under a church in Axum, Ethiopia. Also discusses the derivations of Saracen, Mushreqoon and "Dhu Nuwas".
