From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baliḫu, also known as Ba-li-ih[1][2] and Balaṭ-šarrani,[3] is an ancient Iron Age town on the Euphrates in northern Syria.

According to the Harran Census tablets (SAA XI 122–45), the city was located in the Balikh River Basin.[4][5] The ruins of the town are believed by some to be at Tell Abyad (Arabic: تل أبيض,) on the Syria–Turkey border.
