	Philo of Byblos -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		Philo of Byblos (Herennios Philon), (ca 64 - 141 CE) was an antiquarian writer of grammatical, lexical and historical works in Greek, whose name "Herennius" makes it appear that he was a client of the Consul suffectus Herennius Severus, through whom Philo could have achieved the status of a Roman citizen.
		Philo's Greek, Phoenician History was so extensively quoted by (Christian bishop of Caesarea in Palestine; a church historian and a leading early Christian exegete (circa 270-340)) Eusebius of Caesarea in the 4th century, in his Praeparation evangelista, that the fragments have been assembled and translated (see References).
		Philo apparently constructed his materials from various traditions available to him, adapted them to suit his purpose, and conjured with the venerable-sounding name to gain credit for his narrative.

		It does say that seven gods were born then under the same conditions, "the seventh" being Sibani, whose FATHER is called Etrah, who may be the same as the Terah (Moon) of the Keret story.
		We don't know who she was, but there is an Egyptian bas-relief (Louvre) of her with a uraeus suspended from one of her horns (Larousse), which brings me to the attachment I see in the identities of Asherah and Iusaas, Ra's lady that he was not given until later (Larousse).
