accepting Adam's addition of the nicknames
|
| Feb 12, 2012 at 19:53 | comment | added | Alex | @Adam: thanks. No need for the Greek equivalents of the Hebrew names (as msh210 pointed out in his edit), but their nicknames are good information to have. | |

Rollback to Revision 2 - revert to use Hebrew; very plausibly the original author of this answer did so on purpose. Comment if you think the answer can be improved

| Feb 12, 2012 at 16:37 | comment | added | Adam Mosheh | @Alex - First Maccabees gives their Hebrew names next to their Greek names. | |
| Jan 8, 2012 at 4:06 | comment | added | Alex | @Menachem: it's also called Midrash Maaseh Chanukah, and it's in Eisenstein's Otzar Midrashim (here). Specifically (next page, second column) it has Chashmonai telling Matisyahu (apparently according to this source they were two different people): "I with my seven sons, and you with your three, will make twelve, corresponding to the 12 tribes." | |
| Jan 8, 2012 at 2:04 | comment | added | Menachem | see page 6 of this pdf, that quotes the Midrash Chanukah that says there were 12 chashmanaim. (I'm not sure what Midrash Chanukah is): torahlab.org/download/chanuka_chasmonaim.pdf | |
