SUD.The name of a river or canal of Babylon named in Bar_1:4. This name has not yet been found in the literature of Babylonia, and it seems probable that there is a mistake in the text, the true reading being Sur. A Babylonian text mentions a river or canal in the neighbourhood of Babylon called Nâr Suru, and this may be the stream intended. Its position is unknown.

(Σούδ v.r. [in No. 2] Σουδά, Σουσά, etc.), the name of a stream and of a person in the Apocrypha.
1. A river in the immediate neighborhood of Babylon, on the banks of which Jewish exiles lived (Baruch 1, 4). No such river is known to geographers; but if we assume that the first part of the book of Baruch was written in Hebrew, the original text may have been Sur, the final רhaving been: changed into ד. In this case the name would represent, not the town of Soras as suggested by Bochart (Phaleg, 1; 8), but the river Euphrates itself, which is always named by Arab geographers, the river of Sura, a corruption probably of the Sippara of the inscriptions (Rawlinson, Herod. 1, 611, note 4).
2. A corrupt Grecism (1 Esdr. 5, 29) of the name SIA or SIAHA (q.v.) in the Hebrew lists (Ezr_2:44; Neh_7:47).
