COSSÆANS . A name adapted from the Greek form of Bab. [Note: Babylonian.] Kasshç , a semi-barbarous people inhabiting the mountain region between Elam and Media proper. They answer to Cush (wh. see) in Genesis 10:8 (and Genesis 2:13 ?) as distinguished from the African Cush. They were a powerful people between the 18th and the 12th centuries b.c., during which time Babylonia was ruled by a Cossæan dynasty.
