Editing Pygmalion of Tyre (section)

===Tribute of Balazeros (Baalimanzer) to Shalmaneser III===
In 1951, Fuad Safar published a record of tribute from Baaʿli-maanzer, king of Tyre, to [[Shalmaneser III]] of Assyria in 841 BCE.<ref>Fuad Safar, "A Further Text of Shalmaneser III from Assur", ''Sumer'' 7 (1951) 3–21.</ref> There followed several studies that attempted to relate this Baaʿli-maanzer to the list of kings given in Menander/Josephus. It was argued, based on philological considerations, that the name as given in the Assyrian text could be matched to a Phoenician {{Transliteration|phn|Baʿal-ʿazor}} and the Greek {{Transliteration|grc|Baal-Eser}}/{{Transliteration|grc|Balazeros}}, a name corresponding to two kings in Menander's list.<ref>J.

Barnes, ''Studies in the Chronology of the Divided Monarchy of Israel'' (Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1991) 29–55.</ref> The first {{Transliteration|grc|Balazeros}} was a son of [[Hiram I]], contemporary of David and Solomon, so this was too early, but the second name referred to the grandfather of Pygmalion and was therefore in the right date range.
