SECT. VII. ABILENE.
JOsephus in the words before quoted, speaking of Abella, adds this passage; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that had been the Tetrarchy of Lysanias. So also Ptol.〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Abila that bore the name of Lysanias: and he reckons this up among the Cities of Celo-Syria under these degrees:
Heliopolis 68. 40. 33. 40.
Abila. 68. 45. 33. 20.
a 1.1 speaks of Abila in that Country: Paneas in quâ Caesarea, cum supra dicto fonte [viz. cap. 15.] Abila, Arca, Ampeloessa, Gabo.
It is not without cause distinguisht by its relation to Lysanias, because in one place or another, there were several Abila's or Abella's: for the Hebrew word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Abel, goes into that termination in the Greek; and there were many places of that name.
Abel Shittim, where the Israelites pitcht their Tents immediately after they had passed the River Jordan, in Josephusb 1.2 is called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Abila, distant from Jordan threescore fur∣longs: which he also mentions with Juliasc 1.3〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, in Perea. There is also Abel Meholah, and Abel beth Maacah, &c.
Near this sound comes 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉d 1.4Abelas of the Cilicians. The very word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Abilene is in Vajicra Rabbae 1.5〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉The Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away, Job I. 15. R. Abin bar Cahna saith,〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉▪ They came out of Caphar Karinus,〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉and they went through all Abilene, and came to〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉Migdol Zaba••••h, and there dyed.
