- Surid
- A pre-diluvial ruler of Egypt, who is stated by Masoudi (AD 1000) to have built the two great pyramids, and to have caused the priests to deposit in them written accounts of their wisdom and science, and records of the stars, their cycles and chronicles, both of the past and for the future. This Arabic version of an early catastrophe myth is to be found in the Akbar Ezjeman collection at Oxford. This story recalls the Siriadic Columns.
