<p> (Heb., Anamnim', עֲנָמִים, signif. unknown; Sept. Ε᾿νεμετιείμ v. r. Αἰνεμετιείμ '','' in Chronicles Ἀναμιείμ, Vulg. [[Anamim]] )'','' the name of some [[Egyptian]] tribe, descended from Mizraim (&nbsp;Genesis 10:13; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:11). Some compare the city ANEM (See [[Anem]]) (q.v.) in [[Palestine]] (&nbsp;Joshua 15:34) as having possibly been settled by an Egyptian colony. Others (as Bochart, ''Phaleg,'' 4, 30), on very precarious etymological grounds (Arab. ''Anam,'' a shepherd; transposed, [[Aman]] )'','' refer the name to the nomadic custodians of the temple of [[Jupiter]] [[Ammon]] (but see Michaelis ''Suppl.'' 1932 sq.). Still others (as Calmet) regard the Anamim as the ''Amaniuns'' or ''Garamantes'' in the oasis Phazania on the river Cinyphus (q. d. גֵּר עֲנָמִים ) in north-western Africa (Strabo, 17, 835; Ptol. 4, 6; Plin. 5, 4; Mel. 1, 8), but with little probability (see Schulthess, Parad. p. 154). [[Gesenius]] (Thes. Heb. p. 1052) calls especial attention to a geographical name, Benemis, found on the Egyptian monuments (Champollion, Gram. 1, 150) as perhaps meaning these people (B being the article); or else he thinks they may be the Blemyes, a people of Upper Egypt (Champollion, L'Egypte sous les Pharaons, 1, 256). Among the old versions, Saadias interprets Alexandrines, the [[Chaldee]] paraphrasts (comp. Beck, ad Targ. Chronicles 1, 9 sq.) inhabitants of Mareotis (מריוטאי or מראטאי ). (See generally Michaelis, ''Spicileg.'' 1, 260 sq.; Vater, ''Comm.'' 1, 131.) </p>
