Sanasib

San'asib (Σανασίβ, v.r. Σαναβίς, Α᾿νασείβ), A head of the priests, "the sons of Jeddu, the son of Jesus," who are said to have returned, to the number of 972, with Zerubbabel from the captivity (1 Esdr. 5:24); evidently the 973 "children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua," in the Heb. texts (Ezr 2:36; Ne 7:39), the name Sanasib having been repeated for the "Senaah" (Esdras, "Annaas") of the preceding verse.
