Sydyk (in some manuscripts Sydek or Sedek) was the name of a deity appearing in a theogeny provided by Roman era Phoenician writer Philo of Byblos in an account preserved by Eusebius in his ''Praeparatio Evangelica'' and attributed to the still earlier Sanchuniathon.〔van der Toorn, K. et al., ''Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible''. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1996, entry ''Zedeq''〕 ==Etymology and role in the Phoenician theogeny== Philo of Byblos gave the Greek meaning of the name as ''dikaion'' i.e. "righteousness" thus indicating that the word corresponds to the Semitic root for "righteousness" ''ṣ-d-q''.〔compare Arabic ''ṣ-d-q'' meaning "truthfulness" and Hebrew ''tzedek'' meaning "righteousnous"〕 The Phoenician god ''s-d-q'' is well attested epigraphically; it is also mentioned by Philo in a pair of deities, Sydyk (Συδυκ) and Misor (Μισωρ). They are described as being born from Amunos and Magos who were in turn born from the ''Wanderers'' or Titans. Sydyk is described as the father of the "Dioskouroi or Kabeiroi or Korybants or Samothracians" who are credited with the invention of the ship.〔Albert I. Baumgarten, ''The Phoenician History of Philo of Byblos: A Commentary'', Brill Archive, 1981〕 Phoenician Sydyk was equated with Roman Jupiter, and hence it has been suggested that Sydyk was connected to the worship of the planet Jupiter as the manifestation of justice or righteousness.〔http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/10602-melchizedek〕〔http://books.google.com/books?id=LW8XieaBETIC&pg=PA243&dq=Theological+Dictionary+of+the+Old+Testament+sydyk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=SNM8UZnfJ_Lo7Aba0oCYCQ&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Theological%20Dictionary%20of%20the%20Old%20Testament%20sydyk&f=false〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sydyk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
