description: "Phannias ben Samuel was the last Jewish High Priest, the 83rd since Aaron. He was from the 'tribe' of Eniachin and did not originate from one of the six families from whom high priests had traditionally been chosen. Rather, he was chosen based on the casting of lots. According to rabbinic sources, he was either a stone-cutter or farmer, possibly the son-in-law of Hanania ben Gamliel. He was a leader of revolutionary forces and died during the destruction of Herod's Temple in 70 CE."
