IV. The fourth council at Senlis was held in 1315 or 1316 by Robert de Courtenay, archbishop of Kbeims, and his suffragans, in which Pierre de Latilly, bishop of Chalons-sur-Marne (accused bj' Louis Hutin of the death of Pliilip le Bel, and of another murder, and im- prisoned), demanded his liberty and the restitution of his property. Subsequently he was entirely justified of the charge, and was left in quiet possession of his bishopric. See Mansi, xi, 1()23.

Sennabris (Ssi'vajSpig), an encampment of the Eomans under Titus, thirty furlongs from Tiberias, which was in sight (Josephus, War, iii, 9, 7); perhaps the Senabrai CXnaSD) or Tsinahri (innD^J) of the Tal- mud (Reland, Palcest. p. 999). Schwarz says (Palest. p. 178) that ruins in that vicinity are still called Sinahri by the Arabs. Thomson identifies the place with the modern Shvgshah, containing traces of old buildings {Land and Book, ii, 65).
Sennach'erib [some Sennache'rili] (Heb. Sanche- rib', 2^';H3D; read in the cuneiform as SiHachirib,i.e. Sin [the Moon] increases brothers, thought to indi- cate that he was not the first-born ; Sept. 'S.ivvaxr]piii V. r. '2,tva)(r]piifi ; Josephus, StvaxijpilSoi; ; Herodotus '2ava\dpii3o(; ; Vulg. Sennacherib), a famous Assyrian monarch, contemporary with Hezekiah. The name of Sennacherib (in Assyrian Sin-achi-iriba) is written in various ways; but three forms are most common, of which we present the most usual. It consists of three elements : the first. Sin, or the " Moon" god ; the sec- ond, achi, or " brothers" (HN) ; and the third, iriba, or '•he increased" (i"i); the meaning of the whole being "the Moon has multiplied brothers." See CuNEiroRM.

Cuneiform of the Name of Sennacherib.
1. Earlier Annals. — Sennacherib was the son and successor of Sargon (q. v.). We know very little of him during his father's lifetime. From his name, and from a circumstance related by Polyhistor, we may gather that he was not the eldest son, and not the heir to the crown till the year before his father's death. Poh'histor (following Berosus) related that the tribu- tary kingdom of Babylon was held by a brother — who would doubtless be an ehler brother — of Sennacherib's, not long before that prince came to the throne (Berosus, Fragm. 1"2). Sennacherib's brother was succeeded by a certain Hagisa, who reigned only a month, being murdered by Merodach-Baladan, who then took the throne and held it three months. The details of Sen- nacherib's campaigns are given under each year in the cuneiform records of his reign. From these it appears that he began to reign .July 16, B.C. 705, and was mur- dered in December, 681 (Smith and Sayce, Cun. Hist. ofSenn. [Lond. 1878] (). 8).
His first efforts were directed to crushing the revolt of Babylonia, which he invaded with a large army. Merodach-Baladan ventured on a battle, but was de-
feated and driven from the country. Sennacherib then made Bell bus (Bel-ibni) an officer of his court, viceroy, and, quitting Babylonia, ravaged the lands of the Ara- miean tribes on the Tigris and Euphrates, whence he carried off 200,000 captives. In the ensuing year he made war upon the independent tribes in Mount Zagros, and penetrated thence to Media, where he reduced a portion of the nation which had previously been inde- pendent.
2. Conquest of Jndaa. — We give the account of this as condensed from the cuneiform annals by the late George Smith {Hist, of Assyria from the Monuments, p. 117 sq.):
