Saraias sa-ra'-yas, sa-ri'-as (Saraias; Latin, Sareus):
(1) = Seraiah, the high priest in the reign of Zedekiah (Ezra 5:5, compare 1 Chronicles 6:14).
(2) Sareus the father of Ezra (Esdras 1:1) = "Seraiah" in Ezra 7:1, sometimes identified with Saraias under (1). He is probably identical with the "Azaraias" of Ezra 8:1.
