		The case of Gindibu seems reasonably clear, being confirmed by the etymology of the name, and is generally cited.
		Its not clear to me at all, one expects similar names by virtue of the fact that Semitic languages were spoken all over the Middle East.
		As the stub on Gindibu notes nothing more is known about him and his Arabs.

	Arabia
		The mention of Arab tribes, under the various forms of Arabi, Arubu, Aribi, and possibly Urbi, frequently occurs in the Assyrian inscriptions as early as the ninth century B.C., and their country is spoken of as seldom or never traversed by any conqueror, and as inhabited by wild and independent tribes.
		We read, e.g., that in 854 B.C. Salmanasar II (A.V., Shalmanezer) met in battle a confederation in which was Gindibu the Arab with one hundred camels.
		A few years later Theglathphalasar III (A.V., Tiglathpileser) undertook an expedition into Arabia; and in the latter half of the eighth century B.C. we find Assyrian influence extending over the north-west and east of the peninsula.

		The first Arab THE PRE-BIBLICAL PERIOD 3 said to be mentioned in historical inscriptions is one Gindibu, or Jundub, vassal of Bir-Idris of Damascus, a city which at times indeed has been included in Arabia, but more usually been assigned to a different group.
