Judith i. 6.I. ARIOCH, King of the Elicians according to the Vulgate, or King of the Elymæans according to the Syriac. We find one Arioch King of Ellafar in the Genef. xiv. 1.book of Genefis. The country of the Elicians we have no knowledge of; of the Elymæans or Elamites we have, which is that of the ancient Perfians. The Scripture informs us, that the battle between Arphaxad King of the Medes and Nabuchodonozor King of Affyria, was fought at Ragau, near the Tigris and Euphrates, in the plain of Arioch King of the Elimeans.
