Arjoun
Arjoun ((アラビア語:عرجون), also spelled Arjun or Arjoon), is a village in central Syria, administratively part of the Homs Governorate, located southwest of Homs. Nearby localities include Aqrabiyah to the southwest, al-Qusayr to the southeast, al-Dabaah to the east, Kafr Mousa and al-Ghassaniya to the north and al-Houz to the northwest. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Arjoun had a population of 2,465 in the 2004 census.〔(General Census of Population and Housing 2004 ). Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). Homs Governorate. 〕 Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims.〔Smith, 1841, p. 176.〕
19th-century Biblical scholars identified Arjoun as "Argana" where in 854 BCE the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser II fought the army of Hadadezer in the Battle of Qarqar.〔Conder, 1902, p. 173.〕 Other sources insist that Argana was located somewhere north of modern-day Hama.〔Babylonian & oriental record, 1889, p. 42.〕 An Ancient Roman milestone was found in the village, suggesting it was situated on a Roman road.〔Conder, 1892, p. 36.〕 In his visit to Syria, James Silk Buckingham described Arjoun in the early 19th century as a small village lying below an artificial mound. At the mound's summit was the tomb of a local sheikh surrounded by a few buildings.〔Buckingham, 1825, p. 491.〕
