... later to be occupied by the Philistines (as proposed by the orthodox chronology), but also as far north as Acco, Achshaph and Megiddo. The Amarna Letters also refer to non-settled' peoples, usually termed SA.GAZ and generally thought to be bandits or outlaws. This phrase is mainly used to describe the eastern neighbours of the Syrian vassal states whose letters to Pharaoh are mostly concerned with the disruptive activities of the kings of Amurru (the Old Testament Amorites). Another, different, term is employed by Abdi- Heba, king of Jerusalem. He refers to a group of trouble-makers known as the habiru who are threatening his own city, whereas other rulers of ...

... Zeus and Typhon took place at Lake Serbon on the coastal route from Egypt to Palestine." V here refers to Herodotus iii.5 , Godley's translation of which reads thus: "Now the only manifest way of entry into Egypt is this. The road runs from Phoenice as far as the city of Cadytis, which belongs to the Syrians of Palestine, as it is called. From Cadytis (which, as I judge, is a city not much smaller than Sardis) to the city of Ienysus, the seaports belong to the Arabians; then they are Syrian again from Ienysus as far as the Serbonian marsh, beside which the Casian promontory stretches seawards; from this ...
... Batanea, and Trachonitis, which are also parts of the kingdom of Agrippa. This [last] country begins at Mount Libanus, and the fountains of Jordan, and reaches breadthways to the lake of Tiberias; and in length is extended from a village called Arpha, as far as Julias. Its inhabitants are a mixture of Jews and Syrians. And thus have I, with all possible brevity, described the country of Judea, and those that lie round about it. CHAPTER 4. JOSEPHUS MAKES AN ATTEMPT UPON SEPPHORIS BUT IS REPELLED. TITUS COMES WITH A GREAT ARMY TO PTOLEMAIS. 1. NOW the auxiliaries which were sent to assist the people of Sepphoris, being ...
174. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... a mixture. For example, Crete had many mountain top shrines, such as are found elsewhere. Q-CD vol. 13, A Fire Not Blown, Ch. 2: Crete 14 At Chamaizi, in a hill-top shrine, there is a well, or bothros, rubbish pit, such as was found by Woolley at Alalakh on the Syrian coast. Lightning, with its important place in religious ritual, explains the presence of such mountain-top shrines. The study of lightning led to further studies of electricity such as were conducted not only on "high places" in Asia Minor but also in Egypt and elsewhere. In Egypt, Anatolia, Palestine and farther east, electrical experiments ...

... judgement. But who are they ? According to Peake's Commentary, 5:26- 29 is actually the closing strophe of the poem formed by 9:8- l0:4- and here there can be no doubt that the armies are real armies rather than metaphorical ones, for in verse 9:12 they are named as the Syrians and the Philistines. Likewise in 10:5 , the Assyrians are the rod of the Lord's anger- not a cosmic body that is like' an army! Again, on WIC p.213, V quotes Is.28:2 and comments thus: "Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which ...
... human offspring; and brings forth The aliment of life and all the tribes That roam the forest; justly then proclaimed Mother of all. The Sun being the most striking of the celestial dements, the male power was adored as residing and manifesting its most energetic influence in the solar orb. In those representations connected with the idolatry of the Syrians, whicb, as we shall see hereafter, was nearly allied to the fables of Egypt we find the worship of the Sun involved in the figurative theology which we have already traced. Macrobius gives us the following account of the notions entertained by the Syrians or Assyrians, concerning the power of the solar deity. They give, he ...
... virtue still remained in it; and when it was brought, and one that was condemned to die had drank it by Varus's command, he died presently. Then Varus got up, and departed out of the court, and went away the day following to Antioch, where his usual residence was, because that was the palace of the Syrians; upon which Herod laid his son in bonds. But what were Varus's discourses to Herod was not known to the generality, and upon what words it was that he went away; though it was also generally supposed that whatsoever Herod did afterward about his son was done with his approbation. But when Herod had bound his son, ...
178. Jerusalem -- City of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... the planet Venus. In fact, "the worship of Tammuz or Adonis was known at Jerusalem in the time of Ezekiel (8 :14), and with Adonis the goddess Astarte must also have been worshipped, probably as the queen of heaven' [Venus] (Jer. 7,24)."(52) The Syrian storm-god Hadad appears under the abbreviated form of Dada in Assyrian annals. "Shalmaneser [II?] speaks of the god Dada of Aleppo (Khalman). The abbreviated form was that current among the nations of the north; in the south it was confounded with the Semitic word which appears in Assyrian as dadu, dear little child ...
179. After 200 Years It's Time to Get Serious About Dynasty XVIII and Tuthmose III [Journals] [Aeon]
... career, his son, Tuthmose II, conducted a foray along the coast which reached as far as Niy, [22] not far south of Naharin (and, with no point in visiting one without the other, we will credit him, like his grandfather, with going all the way). At this stage, the sporadic Syrian incursions ceased, since there is no suggestion that Queen Hatshepsut every journeyed to, or exerted any force in, that region, viz: "The reign of Hathepsowe had been barren of any military enterprise except an unimportant raid into Nubia .. ." [23] What this means is that 22 years went by in the north ...

... a son of the Djafnid Rarith, whom he had taken prisoner." Incidentally, Mundhir IV lived in the 6th century AD. f) The only mention of the connection between the goddess at Uzza and the planet Venus occurs in the following passage of the article: "The name Uzza is also, although rarely, found among the Syrians. As a rule, they use instead the name Kawkabta "the (female) star", which they, like the Jews, apply especially to the morning star. It agrees very well with this that the Saracens who stormed the Sinai monastery according to Nilus wanted to sacrifice the young Theodulos to the morning star. The nature ...
