God of uncertain status. Western Semitic and Punic (Carthaginian). Probably concerned with chance or fortune and known from Palmyrene inscriptions, and from the Vetus Testamentum in place names such as Baal-Gad and Midal-Gad. Popular across a wide area of Syrio-Palestine and Anatolia in pre-Biblical times. Thought to have been syncretized ultimately with the Greek goddess TYCHE.
