A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Antionah
ANTIONAH. A chief ruler among the people of the city of Ammonihah. His inquiry regarding the resurrection, and the immortality of the soul, afforded Alma an opportunity to explain these and other vital principles of the everlasting Gospel. From the manner in which the question is put, we judge that Antionah was, like the majority of the people in Ammoniah, a corrupt man (and the probabilities are that he would not have been elected to that position if he had not been), or at the least very ignorant of the teachings of the servants of God. Whether he repented at Alma's preaching or was destroyed with the unrepentant is not made clear. (B. C. 82.)
