sir´i-on (שׂריון, siryoÌ„n; ΣανιωÌÏ, SanioÌ„Ìr): The name of Mt. Hermon among the Phoenicians (). It is given as “Shirion†in (Hebrew “breastplate†or “body armorâ€). Here it is named with Lebanon. Sirion therefore probably did not denote a particular part of the Hermon Range, as did Senir, but may have been suggested by the conformation of the range itself, as seen from the heights above the Phoenician coast.
