There is no such evidence at all for a WP Jannaias mentioned below !!! However, we might read Alexander in the the way he was minted:
YEHONATAN THE HIGH PRIEST
And that is quite similar to the framing two YEHOHANAN THE HIGH PRIEST (make your decision which one is meant)
In so far James Davila is dismissed for the typo.

Subject: [Megillot] pesharim typo, Jannaeus
James Davila's lecture summary on pesharim http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/divinity/pesharim.html
makes several good observations; a typo in the second historical allusion
section may be worth noting. For "Alexander Hyrcanus" read "Alexander
Jannaeus." This may be worth noting because evidence has increased that he was
the "wicked priest." For instance, many of the other proposed candidates are
too early or too late.
