9. an Ancient One. Literally, "one advanced in days" ('attîq yômîn), i.e. an old man; the Hebrew equivalent is bā bayyāmîm (Gen 24:1). Like Akkadian, etēqu, the basic meaning of the root 'tq in Aramaic is "to move forward, to advance"; however, the word yômîn could be dropped after 'attîq, which then by itself came to mean "old."
