==Itureans== The Itureans (Greek: ) were a Semitic-speaking semi-nomadic tribe who lived in present-day Syria and Lebanon, who became sedentary during the Hellenistic period. The exact origin of the Itureans is disputed. Some scholars identify them as Arabs, while others believe that they were an Aramaean people, possibly the descendants of the kingdom of Sobah.
