"Edom is in modern Jewry." — The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 5, P. 41, 1925 Edition. "The Greeks considered Aramaic as the Syrian language and called those who spoke it Syrians. The biblical "Aram" is Greek and Roman "Syria". Aramaean speakers were Syrians, and later they seem often to have been identified with the Jews." — Michael D. Magee, Persia And The Creation Of Judaism.
