Simeon bar Ezron

Simeon bar Ezron or Simon bar Ezron (Aram. Shimon bar Ezron; Heb. Shimon ben Ezron) was a leader in the Great Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire in the year 66 CE. He was a follower of the Sicarii leader Eleazar ben Simon. He was of noble descent [Josephus, "Bellum Judaicum" v 1, § 2.] , and may be identical with Simeon ben Arinos, who also is mentioned in connection with Eleazar, ["id". 6, § 1.] and thus with Simeon ben Ari, to whose bravery Josephus alludes. ["id". vi 1, § 8; 2, § 6.]
