Variant Spellings of SIDON

Sidom

Alma 2:17
P, 1837-1981: Sidon
1830: Sidom

Siden

Alma 43:40
O: Sidon / Siden
P: Sidon
Alma 43:51
O: Siden > Sidon

Discussion: In Alma 2:17, the 1830 compositor set Sidon as Sidom. The land Sidom occurs later, so this must just be a visual error. The other error in two verses is simply a slip of the pen.

Summary: Maintain Sidon.
