1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Abana
   stony (Heb. marg. "Amanah," perennial), the chief river of
   Damascus (2 Kings 5:12). Its modern name is Barada, the
   Chrysorrhoas, or "golden stream," of the Greeks. It rises in a
   cleft of the Anti-Lebanon range, about 23 miles north-west of
   Damascus, and after flowing southward for a little way parts
   into three smaller streams, the central one flowing through
   Damascus, and the other two on each side of the city, diffusing
   beauty and fertility where otherwise there would be barrenness.
   

2. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
