Father of Aram and the Suryoye

"Behold, Melko also hath borne children to Nahor thy brother: Uz, his first-born, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram. Greek: the father of the Syriacs (Suryoye)."

Bar Hebraeus presents the genealogy of Nahor, noting Kemuel as “the father of Aram,” and adds the Greek equivalent, which interprets this as “the father of the Syriacs,” written in Aramaic as “Suryoye,” in his work on the Old Testament.
