Apologies for mixing forms of transliteration. I correct it now to:

ESSAIOI:  IOUDAIOI, ASKHTAI,  FARISAIWN KAI GRAMMATEWN THN ASKHSIN EC
EPIMETROU DIANESTHKOTES, PROGONOI IWNADAB, hUIOU RhIXAB TOU DIKAIOU.

If I'm reading this correctly, it seems to indicate that the author of
this entry thought the Essenes were the ancestors of  Jonadab.  But
historically, that can't be correct.
