Nasbas
(, Vulg. Nabath), the nephew of robit who came with Achiacharus to the wedding of Tobias (Tob 11:18). Grotius considers him the same with Achiacharus the son of Anael, but according to the Vulgate they were brothers. The margin of the A.V. gives “Junius” as the equivalent of Nasbas.

Nasbas
NASBAS.Apparently the nephew of Achiacharus, who was the nephew of Tobit (Tob 11:18). He came with Achiacharus to the wedding of Tobias. About his identity there is some little uncertainty. The Vulgate speaks of him as brother of Achiacharus, while others have regarded the two as identical. It has been suggested also that he is the same as Aman or Nadan, the ward of Achiacharus (Tob 14:10), in which case the uncle adopted the nephew and brought him up as his son.

Nasbas
nasbas (, Nasbas, Codex Sinaiticus , Nabad, read by Fritzsche): A name otherwise unknown. It occurs only in Tobit 11:18, And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother’s son, came to Tobit’s wedding. Opinions are divided as to whether he was brother’s son of Tobit or Achiacharus. the King James Version margin gives the suggestion of Junius, Achiacharus who is also called Nasbas, thus identifying Nasbas with Achiacharus, which might gain support from Tobit 1:22 where Achiacharus is mentioned as brother’s son of Tobit. See ACHIACHARUS; AMAN. Codex Sinaiticus reads Achiacharus and Nabad his brother’s sons, which is corrected by another hand to brother’s son (, exadelphos). The Itala gives Nabal avunculus (maternal uncle) illius; the, Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) Nabath consobrini (cousins) Tobiae; Syriac Laban his sister’s son. This person is probably identical with the Aman of Tobit 14:10 (see variety of readings under AMAN) and the nephew in Harris’ Story of Ahikar and His Nephew.
