Who is [P]?
Remphan is a rendering of the Ancient Greek, ρεμφαν. Various manuscripts offer other transliterations, including Ancient Greek: [Ῥ]ομφά, [Ῥ]εμφάν, [Ῥ]εμφάμ, [Ῥ]αιφάν, & [Ῥ]εφάν. It is part of a reference to Amos 5:26, which reads in Hebrew as"Chiun", "Kewan", "Kaiwan", "Kiyuwn", or "Kijun". The Septuagint's reading of Amos is "raiphan" or "rephan". The Greek forms may be based on a transliteration of the Hebrew,k (qoppa)having replaced r (resh), ph having been substituted for y (yod), and u (vowel waw) having been replaced by a (alpha)."Kēwān"is another pronunciation of the Old Persian word of Kayvân, meaning Saturn.
