Translation: Goddess of [the] Sidonians, and Chamos,[1] god of [the] Ammonites, whom Solomon served. He married wives from the gentiles, who, together with the Israelite wives, were seven hundred, as well as three hundred concubines. From all of these was born his son Rehoboam, from foreigners, [sc. and he was] unworthy of the throne. Polygamy, you see, does not result in fertility.

Modern English translations use the Hebrew Ashtoreth (אשתרת
ʾašttoret), but the lexicographer follows the
Septuagint. The term is derived from Sumerian Ishtar.
[1] Modern English translations use the Hebrew Chemosh (כמוש
ḵemōš) and all versions attribute the deity to the Moabites. The Suda gets its misinformation not directly from the
Septuagint but from George the Monk,
Chronicon 1.206.
