		Ahikar was the cousin of Tobias (whom I have identified, in his mature age, as Job - "Job/Tobias").

	Introduction to the Books of the Apocrypha: Tobit
		In Tob.ii.10, xiv.10 there are evident references to episodes in the story of Ahikar (see iv.12, viii.2, 37, 41, of this latter).
		Ahikar ii.19, 43, 12 and 72, do not necessarily point to indebtedness; they are merely items belonging to the Wisdom literature in general.
		To begin with, the writer, as we have seen, was familiar with the Story and Wisdom of Ahikar, a work which belongs to a period, at the very latest, about the middle of the fifth century BC.

	A BABYLONIAN PERSPECTIVE ON SENNACHERIB AND HIS GRAND VIZIER
		The story of Ahikar is one of the most phenomenal in the ancient world in that it has become part of many different literatures and has been preserved in several different languages: Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Slavonic, and Old Turkish.
		Ahikar was therefore Tobit's nephew of the tribe of Naphtali, taken into captivity by the Assyrian king, "Shalmaneser", father of Sennacherib.
		Finally, Ahikar is probably also Sin-ah-usur (note the same structure of theophoric plus ah element plus final element) of Sargon's reign, since he was called "the vizier" [29].

	THE STORY OF AHIKAR
		Betrayed by his power-hungry adopted son, Ahikar was condemned to death, suffered severely, but was finally restored to his former position.
		Nevertheless, the story of Ahikar and his proverbial wisdom influenced the development of Jewish wisdom literature early in the Hellenistic period (3rd century BC to 3rd century AD), as is shown by similar ethical doctrines in the Old Testament books of Psalms and Ecclesiastes and in the apocryphal books of Tobit and Ecclesiasticus.
		Ahikar, the cupbearer of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon, was Tobit's nephew; he is a secondary personage in the plot, and his own story is mentioned.

		However, in the sapiential books of Proverbs, Sirach, Ahikar, and some texts from Qumran, the style of appealing to son or sons became so habitual that even the sages appealed to their readers by this title, even though they might have been adult persons.
		This style of appealing to a son or sons is known from ancient Egyptian and Babylonian wisdom texts, whose influence on Hebrew texts has been elucidated by Nili Shupak and others.
		In Proverbs it appears 22 times, in Sirach it appears 24 times, it is dominant in the book of Ahikar, and appears in some texts from Qumran: e.g.
