MINÆANS. The name of a S.W. Arabian people dwelling north of the Sabæans (Sheba), who in the 9th and 8th cents. b.c. became a powerful nation with a dominion stretching north to the peninsula of Sinai. It is supposed by recent scholars that they are meant by the Me‘unim or (better) Me‘inim , who are named in 1 Chronicles 4:41 as dwelling in the Negeb, in 2 Chronicles 26:7 along with Arabians, and in 2 Chronicles 20:1 (by correction) along with the Ammonites. In all these passages the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] understand Minæans.
