About this person

Theodotion is traditionally identified as one of three major Jewish translators of the Hebrew Bible into Greek during the second century CE, alongside Aquila and Symmachus. According to Irenaeus, Theodotion was a proselyte from Asia Minor, likely Ephesus. Epiphanius dates his activity to the reign of Emperor Commodus, though this chronology may derive from the column order in Origen's Hexapla rather than historical evidence.
