ANAMIM

Volume 2 · 71 words · 1815 Edition

the second son of Mizraim (Gen. x. 13.) Ananim, if we may credit the paraphraist Jonathan the son of Uzziel, peopled the Mareotis; or the Pentapolis of Cyrene, according to the paraphraist of Jerusalem. Bocchart is of opinion, that these Anamims were the people that dwelt in the parts adjacent to the temple of Jupiter Ammon, and in the Nafamontitis. Calmet thinks the Amanians and Garamantes to be descended from Ananim.
