Shaphat (exilarch)

Shaphat was a Jewish exilarch of the 2nd century AD, ^[1] succeeding his father, Johanan. ^{[2] [3]} Little is known about him or the office of the exilarch at this time. His name is found in most surviving genealogical lines of Davidic descent. ^[4] He was the father of his successor, Huna Kamma, the first exilarch whose authority was recognized outside the realm of Babylonia.^{[ citation needed ]}
