The oak or heap of Assyria, a territory in Asia of which Arioch was king ([Gen. 14:1](/gen#Gen.14.1), [9](/gen#Gen.14.9)). It is supposed that the old Chaldean town of Larsa was the metropolis of this kingdom, situated nearly half-way between Ur (now Mugheir) and Erech, on the left bank of the Euphrates. This town is represented by the mounds of Senkereh, a little to the east of Erech.
