Canneh

Canneh was a merchant city of the Mesopotamian trade network named in Ezekiel's great oracle and lament against Tyre: "Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants" (Ezekiel 27:23). The prophet catalogs the wide trade connections Tyre maintained — from Haran in upper Mesopotamia eastward through Canneh, Eden, and Asshur — to underscore the breadth of the wealth and power that would soon collapse. The exact site of Canneh is uncertain but lay somewhere along the upper Tigris trade route, possibly the same as the Mesopotamian city of Kanna mentioned in cuneiform tablets.
