[Avodah] halachah and history

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

<<Well, *the* YKG, who becomes the poster child for not trusting oneself
until the day of death, might not be the best complement.

Also, he became a tzeduqi before passing the baton. Which means it has
to be someone who lived during or after after the Tzadoq who was the
student of Antignos ish Socho. (A 2nd Tzadoq in the same conversation.)
It doesn't leave us much room to place him well before Matisyahu.>>

As I previously brought down 3 possibilities are mentioned in the miforshim.
Using Micha's reasoning
and since the high priests after the time of Matisyahu are well known it
would seem the only possibility of John Hyrcanus.
