The book does have an incredible section where it reviews various high priest motifs.

The Impact of Yom Kippur on Early Christianity: The Day of Atonement from Second Temple Judaism to the Fifth Century (2003)
Daniel Stökl Ben Ezra
https://books.google.com/books?id=nqbzCb_2wNkC&pg=PA244
Jewish Christian traditions from the second century recognize at least four legendary leaders who are described in high-priestly terms, although historically they were definitely not high priests in the temple and some of them were neither Aaronides nor even Levites. These leaders include:
(1) Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist,3
(2) Simeon,4
(3) John, the Beloved Disciple,5 and
(4) James, the brother of Christ.6 - p. 244
3 On apocryphal legends linked to Zechariah, see still A. Berendts, Studien tuber Zacharias-Apokryphen und Zacharias-Legenden (Leipzig, 1895).
4 On Simeon (Luke 2:25.34), see S. Porter, “Simeon 3,” Anchor Bible Dictionary 6 (1992) 26-28.
5 On John in general, see R.A. Culpepper, John, the Son of Zebedee. The Life of a Legend (Studies on Personalities of the New Testament; Columbia [S.C.], 1994).
6 On James in general, see J. Painter, Just James. The Brother of Jesus in History and Tradition (Studies on Personalities of the New Testament; Columbia [S.C.], 1997); W. Pratscher, Der Herrenbruder Jakobus und die Jakobustradition (Forschungen zur Religion und Literatur des Alten und Neuen Testaments 139; Gottingen, 1983); and idem, “Jakobus (Herrenbruder),” Reallexikon fiir Antike und Christentum 18 (1998) 1227-1243;
