Ptolemy (son of Abubus)

Ptolemy
Governor of the Jericho region of Israel

Ptolemy was the son of Abubus. He was appointed governor of the Jericho region of Israel by the Seleucid king Antiochus VII Sidetes in the second century BCE and married a daughter of Simon Maccabaeus, military commander of the Maccabees and founder of Israel's Hasmonean dynasty. Ptolemy is notable for having held a banquet for his father-in-law Simon and two of Simon's sons during which he had them all killed. He then attempted to have Simon's third son, John Hyrcanus, killed also, but failed.

Ptolemy, son of Abubus was the namesake of Ptolemaea in Dante's Inferno, a place in hell designated for traitors against guests in their home.
