Eusebius (u.s):  “His successor, therefore, who had not hitherto borne the name Jesus, but had been called by another name, Auses, which had been given him by his parents, he now called Jesus, bestowing the name upon him as a gift of honour far greater than any kingly diadem.”  Auses is a common corruption of the name Oshea.  See the note on the passage of Eusebius in this series.
