Archevite
Archevite (Aramaic <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />ארכוי) in the Old Testament was one of the nations planted by the Assyrians in Samaria (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".). The Aramaic expression is also sometimes translated as people . . . from Uruk,[1] people of Erech,[2] Erechites,[3] and so on.
Sir Isaac Newton wrote in The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms that he believed Archevite was located in "the south and south-east side of Assyrian Empire" and were "transplanted by Esarhaddon to Samaria".[4]
Jonathan Edwards thought that the Archevites referred to the men of Erech, which is thought to be modern day Uruk, removed from there and brought to Samaria.[5]
