Judas Iscariot] He distinguisheth him from the other Judas, James his brother, Luke 6:16. Whence he was called Iscariot it is uncertain; some say from the word 〈in non-Latin alphabet 〉signifying a man, and Carioth a town in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:25. Some of a word signifying defection for a reward; others of the Syriack word signifying strangling, as if he were so named by anticipation.
