Headword:
Χαμώς
Adler number: chi,78
Translated headword: Chamos, Chemosh
Vetting Status: low
Translation: He was a god of the Tyrians or the Ammonites, just as Astarte was a goddess of the Sidonians, [sc. both of] whom Solomon served.[1]
Greek Original:Χαμώς: θεὸς ἦν Τυρίων ἢ Ἀμμανιτῶν, ὥσπερ ἡ Ἀστάρτη θεὸς Σιδωνίων, οἷς ἐλάτρευσε Σολομῶν.
Notes:
[1] English versions adopt the Hebrew form of the name, כמוש (Chemosh). The Old Testament attributes the god to the Moabites, I Kings (3 Kings) 11:1-8. The lexicographer is not following the LXX, however, but Georgius Monachus'
Chronicle, 1.206.
