ANAMIM

Volume 2 · 71 words · 1842 Edition

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