	Ur of the Chaldees - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		Eupolemus, who lived about 150 BC, spoke of it as being a city of Babylonia called Camarina, which he said was called by some Ouria.
		This, some hold, accords with the view of Eupolemus, because Camarina may be from the Arabic name of the moon qamar, which refers perhaps to the fact that the ancient city was dedicated to the worship of the moon-god.
		Another argument which has been advanced for this identification is that Haran, the city to which Terah migrated, was also a center of moon-god worship.
