Note 495 — Chapter VI · THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MONARCHY (continued 2)

Salamanu appears as Shalman in Hos. x. 14, as Sulmanu in Assyro-Babylonian. Sulmanu was the god of Peace, like Selamanês in a Greek inscription from Shêkh Barakât in northern Syria, whose name is also found in a Phœnician inscription from Sidon (Clermont-Ganneau, Bibliothèque de l’École des Hautes Études CXIII., vol. ii. pp. 40, 48).
