Both Eusebius and Epiphanius (undoubtedly from Hegesippus) have a Jerusalem bishop named "Seneca" (Σενέκας):
James, who was martyred in Jerusalem by beating with a cudgel.
[He lived] until the time of Nero.
Symeon, was crucified under Trajan.
Judah
Zachariah
Tobiah
Benjamin
John, bringing us to the ninth [or] tenth year of Trajan.103
Matthias
Philip
Seneca (Σενέκας)
Justus, bringing us to Hadrian.
Levi
Vaphres
Jose
15. Judah, bringing us to the eleventh year of Antonius.104 The above
were the circumcised bishops of Jerusalem.
The names are all supposed to be "Jewish names." Curious what Hebrew name can resemble Σενέκας.
