SUD . The name of a river or canal of Babylon named in Bar 1:4 . This name has not yet been found in the literature of Babylonia, and it seems probable that there is a mistake in the text, the true reading being Sur . A Babylonian text mentions a river or canal in the neighbourhood of Babylon called Nâr Suru , and this may be the stream intended. Its position is unknown.

T. G. Pinches.
