Bar Hebaraus on the Sons of Shem

Title

Bar Hebaraus on the Sons of Shem

Creator

Bar Hebraeus

Date

1226-1286 AD

Description

Bar Hebraeus writes about the sons of Shem:

"Assyrians, Chaldeans, Lydians, [Lurs?], Syriacs, Hebrews, Persians."

Interesting how he replaced Arameans with Syriacs, while Assyrians remained unchanged. Suryoyo/Syriac refers exclusively to Arameans, regardless of its etymology.

Language

Syriac-Aramaic
