ar´ke -vı̄t ( Kethı̄bh , ארכּוי , 'arkāwēy ; Ḳerē , ארכּויא , 'arkewāyē' ): One of the tribes which Osnappar transplanted to swell the mixed multitudes in the cities of Samaria (Ezra 4:9 ). The Archevites were the inhabitants of Erech, one of the four cities originally founded by Nimrod in Babylonia. (For its modern site compare Loftus, Travels in Chaldea and Susiana , 162ff). Marquardt (Fund , 64ff) emends the text to read יא [ת ]כּוּ [ י ]דּ , dı̄ kūthāyē' , "who are Cuthaeans" (2 Kings 17:24 ).
