In the Hebrew Bible, the Sassoon Codex, dated to the 10th century AD, states in 2 Kings 8:28-29:
“28 Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to war against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth Gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram; 29 so King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramoth in his battle with Hazael, king of Aram.”
Note that “Arameans” and “Aram” are labeled. Now, if we look at the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (specifically, the Greek translation of this verse), the term “Aramean” is substituted with “Syrian/Syriac” (Suryoyo) and "Aram" with "Syria."
