From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Calneh
     fort, one of the four cities founded by Nimrod (Gen. 10:10). It
     is the modern Niffer, a lofty mound of earth and rubbish
     situated in the marshes on the left, i.e., the east, bank of the
     Euphrates, but 30 miles distant from its present course, and
     about 60 miles south-south-east from Babylon. It is mentioned as


     one of the towns with which Tyre carried on trade. It was
     finally taken and probably destroyed by one of the Assyrian
     kings (Amos 6:2). It is called Calno (Isa. 10:9) and Canneh
     (Ezek. 27:23).
