There are parallels for Jews bearing a non-Jewish name along with a Jewish one; see Ameling, Inscr. Jud. Or. II, p. 103. Another (non-Jewish) councilor from Hypaipa with two names: IGSK 17, 2, no. 3828: …Αὐρ(ηλίου) Σωκράτους τοῦ καὶ Εὐφρονίου Ὑπαιπηνοῦ βουλ(ευτοῦ)…

[ὑπ]ὲρ ε̣[ὐχῆς ἐπ]ο̣ίησα: my reading from the photograph; [ὑπ]ὲρ ε̣[ὐχ]ῆ̣ς [ - - - ]ΕΜΙΙ [ - - - ἐπ]ο̣ίησα, Kroll (Ameling; SEG).

Ἰουδαῖοι νεώτεροι are attested in Hypaipa: IGSK 17, 2, no. 3822 (= Ameling, Inscr. Jud. Or. II, pp. 199–201, no. 47).
