2380	ENT_ARA_BAALSHAMIN	aligned_with	ENT_ZEUS	high	Greek-Palmyrene bilingual inscriptions consistently render "Baalshamin" as "Zeus" — the most thoroughly documented interpretatio graeca in the Aramean/Syrian tradition. The Palmyrene Baalshamin temple dedicatory inscriptions (from the 1st–3rd centuries CE) use "Zeus" as the Greek equivalent in every bilingual text recovered. The author of 2 Maccabees (2nd c. BCE) identifies the deity installed by Antiochus IV in the Jerusalem Temple as "Zeus Olympios" while 1 Maccabees uses "Baal Shamayim" — the two books are describing the same event with Greek and Aramaic divine names respectively. The Zeus-Baalshamin equation is one of the best-attested divine equivalences in the ancient world. Kaizer (2002) pp. 60-65.	SRC_KAIZER_PALMYRA	reviewed	PER_ARA_IRON_AGE
