Labosardach

LABOSARDACH or Laborosoarchod, King of Babylon, the Son of Neriglissar, reigned nine Months according to Berosus. He was put to Death by his own People, and succeeded by Nabonidas, according to the same Berosus; or Nabannidoch, according to Abydenus; or Labynitus according to Herodotus. Many are of Opinion, that this last is the same with Belshazzar in Daniel. The Succession of Nebuchadnezzar’s Sons is extremely perplexed. See the Chronologists and Commentators upon Daniel, and hereafter NIGLISSAR.
