<p> (Heb. Abimael', אֲבַימָאֵל '', | <p> (Heb. Abimael', אֲבַימָאֵל '', Father Of Mael;'' Sept. Ἀβιμαέλ, Ἀβιμιεήλ '','' [[Josephus]] Ἀβιμάηλος), one of the sons of Joktan in Arabia ( Genesis 10:28; 1 Chronicles 1:22). B.C. post 2414. (See Arabia). He was probably the father or founder of an [[Arabian]] tribe called ''Maal'' (מָאֵל, of unknown origin), a trace of which Bochart ''(Phaleg,'' 2:24) discovers in [[Theophrastus]] ''(Hist. Plant.'' 9:4), where the name ''Mali'' (Μάλι ) occurs as that of a spice-bearing region. Perhaps the same is indicated in [[Eratosthenes]] (ap. Strabo, 16:1112) and [[Eustathius]] (ad Dionys. Periegetes, p. 288, ed. Bernhardy) by the Mincei (Μειναῖ oi). So [[Diodorus]] Siculus (3, 42); but [[Ptolemy]] (6:7) distinguishes the Manitae (Μανῖται ) from these, and at the same time refers to a village called ''Manialia (Μάμαλα Κώμη)'' on the shore of the Red Sea. Hence Schneider proposes to read ''Mamali (Μαμάλι'' ) in the above passage of Theophrastus; perhaps we should rather read [[Mani]] (Μάνι ), a natural interchange of liquids; and then we may compare a place mentioned by Abulfeda ''(Arabia,'' ed. Gaguier, p. 3, 42), called ''Mlinay,'' 3 miles from [[Mecca]] (Michaelis, ''Spicileg.'' 2:179 sq.). </p> | ||
