  Ellasar 
  the  oak  or  heap  of  Assyria,  a  territory  in  Asia  of  which  Arioch 
  was  king  (Gen.  14:1,  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.
