EASTON’S BIBLE DICTIONARY (1897 EDITION)
Arioch – lion-like, venerable.
(1.) A king of Ellasar who was confederate with Chedorlamer (Gen. 14:1,9).
The tablets recently discovered by Mr. Pinches
(See CHALDEA) show the true reading is Eri-Aku of Larsa.
This Elamite name meant “servant of the moon-god.”
It was afterwards changed into Rimsin, “Have mercy, O moon-god.”
(2.) Dan. 2:14.
