HERMON, or AERMON (anc. geog.); a mountain of the Amorites, called Sanior by the Phœnicians, and Sanir or Senir by the Amorites, on the east of Jordan. It is also called Sion, (Moses); but must not be confounded with the Sion of Jerusalem. By the Sidonians it was called Scirion; in the vulgare, it is called Sarion. Joshua informs us, that it was the dominion of Og king of Bashan; which must be understood of its south side. It is never particularly mentioned by profane writers; being comprised under the appellation Libanus, or Antilibanus, with which mountain it is joined to the east. It is also called Hermomin plurally, Psalm xlii. 6. because it was extensive, and contained several mountains.
