Reading edition
See my Patriarchal Palestine, pp. 160, 165. The figure and name of the god Salimmu, written in cuneiform characters, are on a gem now in the Hermitage at St. Petersburg. The same god, under the name of Shalman, is mentioned on a stela discovered at Sidon, and under that of Selamanês in the inscriptions of Shêkh Barakât, north-west of Aleppo (Clermont-Ganneau, Études d’Archéologie orientale in the Bibliothèque de l’École des Hautes Études, cxiii. vol. ii. pp. 36, 48; Sayce in the Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archeology, xix. 2. p. 74).
