SARAMEL (RV [Note: Revised Version.] Asaramel). An expression, ‘in Asaramel,’ in 1Ma 14:28 in the inscription upon the memorial pillar of Simon Maccabæus. A place-name is indicated by the Greek text. This reading, however, is unsuitable, and it is best to assume, as has been proposed, that there was originally written a Heb. title of Simon, additional to ‘the high-priest,’ meaning ‘prince of the people of God’ ( Sar-‘am-’çl ). See, for other explanations, ExpT [Note: Expository Times.] Aug. 1900, p. 523 ff.

J. F. McCurny.
