kos-a-mē´us (A, ΣιÌμων Χοσαμαῖος, SimoÌ„n ChosamaıÌos; B, ΧοσαÌμαος, ChosaÌmaos): Occurs in 1 Esdras 9:32 as the name of one of the sons of Annas. But in the parallel passage () the name is simply Shimeon followed by “Benjamin, Malluch, Shemariah,†which are omitted in 1 Esdras. The Septuagint of has ΣεμεωÌν, Semeō̇n, followed by the three omitted names. The difference may have arisen from a mistake of a copyist, or from the use of an imperfect MS.
