ē̇-nē?nē̇-us, en-e-nē?us (Ἐνήνιος, Enḗnios; the King James Version Enenius, the Revised Version, margin ?Enenis?): Occurring only in Apocrypha. According to 1 Esdras 5:8, Eneneus was one of the 12 leaders over the returning exiles from Babylon under Zerubbabel. Ezr 2 contains the parallel list of the returning leaders but omits Eneneus, giving only 11; but Eneneus corresponds to Nahamani (Neh_7:7).
