  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.
