Calneh
   fort, one of the four cities founded by Nimrod (Gen. 10:10). It
   is the modern Niffer, a lofty mound of earth and rubbish
   situated in the marshes on the left, i.e., the east, bank of the
   Euphrates, but 30 miles distant from its present course, and
   about 60 miles south-south-east from Babylon. It is mentioned as
   one of the towns with which Tyre carried on trade. It was
   finally taken and probably destroyed by one of the Assyrian
   kings (Amos 6:2). It is called Calno (Isa. 10:9) and Canneh
   (Ezek. 27:23).
