Zephaniah son of Cushi [from among the sons of Hezekiah (Yerushalmi chapter 1)] prophesied in the days of Josiah. He received from Habakkuk in Year 3280 [(Tzeda LaDerech)], being the 19th receiver. He prophesied at the beginning of this period [(see Year 302)]. His grave is in Syria, that is Matnat Chasidim [(Benjamin of Tudela).

And in another place it is written that Zephaniah the prophet is buried in Tzarta standing on the mountain of the Lebanon mountains]. And at that time Chuldah the prophetess was active. She was buried in Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives, which is outside Jerusalem to the east [(Benjamin of Tudela)], and no person ever touched it [(Semachot chapter 14) (Yuchsin in Seder HaDorot)]. Her husband was Shallum son of Tikvah whom Elisha revived, and afterwards he bore Chanamel [(see Year 109)], and she prophesied at the beginning of this period and was from the descendants of Yehoshua, and Yirmiyahu was her relative [(see Year 302).

Yirmiyahu reincarnated in Chuldah (Sefer Kavvanot) (see Year 3298)].
