ANAMIM

Volume 2 · 71 words · 1823 Edition

the second son of Mizraim (Gen. x. 14.) Ananim, if we may credit the paraphrast Jonathan the son of Uzziel, peopled the Mareotic; or the Pentapolis of Cyrene, according to the paraphrast of Jerusalem. Bocchart is of opinion, that these Anamins were the people that dwelt in the parts adjacent to the temple of Jupiter Ammon, and in the Nasamontis. Calmet thinks the Amanians and Garamantes to be descended from Ananim.
