Nahum (exilarch)
# Nahum (exilarch)

Nahum or Nehunyon was a Jewish Exilarch of the 2nd century AD according to the Seder Olam Zutta residing within the Parthian Empire. He is believed to be one of the oldest identifiable members of the house of the Exilarch in Babylonia as no explicit mention to one is noted before his tenure. Very little is known about him or about the nature of the office that he served during his own lifetime. He was allegedly succeeded as Exilarch by his brother, Johanan.
