Citations missing date April 2008 Aramaeans Aram Damascus was an Aramaean state around Damascus in Syria , from the late 12th century BCE to 734 BCE. Sources for this state come from texts that can be divided into three categories Assyria n annals, Aramaean texts, and the Hebrew Bible . The largest portion of the textual sources come from Assyria. There are, however, often several copies of the same texts. Most of the texts are annals from the Assyrian kings Shalmaneser III , Adad Nirari III , and Tiglath Pileser III .
