Arioch - Lion-like, venerable. (1.) A king of Ellasar who was confederate with Genesis 14:1, Genesis 14:9). The tablets recently discovered by Mr. Pinches (see [[:Category:Chaldea|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.) Daniel 2:14.
