<quote>The opinion was prevalent among the Rabbis that the temple of Onias was situated at Alexandria—an error that is repeated by all the chroniclers of the Middle Ages. This temple is also sometimes confounded with the Samaritan temple on Mount Gerizim.[18]</quote> This is pure nonsense. 210.84.40.154 10:44, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Can someone provide support for thinking that the Greek name is "’Ονείον"? I looked at the citation and all that's there is the genitive, ’Ονίου. So it doesn't look like it should have the diphthong. I couldn't find the place name in Liddell-Scott-Jones, so I'm not sure what the lexical form or gender are. Also, does anyone know how to create smooth and rough breathing? I don't see it down there in the list of characters. 128.186.238.250 17:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
For what it's worth: Abraham Schalit in his "Supplement I" (p. 93) to Karl Heinrich Rengstorf's "A Complete Concordance to Flavius Josephus" (publ. by Brill Leiden 1968, no ISBN) lists the place as ή ’Ονίου χωρα.

To figure out the period when this "land of Onias" existed, one needs to read all through, click on every wikilink, and still not fully figure out the timeline. Who can fix this? An infobox could be a start. Thanks, Arminden ( talk) 11:45, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
