... The earliest historical
mention of the Phoenician land is in the older Egyptian inscriptions,
where it appears under the name of Dahe (or Zahi).*
* W. Max Müller suggests that this name may be
connected with the root زها 'to be beautiful,' Ισι 'to act well'; cf. צהה
"to shine" (Asien und Europa, p. 176). This name
begins to go into the background in the 12th cent., and is almost
forgotten in the Ptolemaic period... (A Dictionary of the Bible:
Kir-Pleiades, Hastings,
1900)
Abu 'l-Kasim

... "Zăhi," says as-Samani, "is a
relative adjective derived from (Zăh) the name of a village in the
