The name of this Country, as it seemeth by Strabo, was taken from two mountaines, or Rockes, called Trachones: and they very probably so called from the Hebrew word, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which signifieth wearisomnesse, in regard of the irkesome and tedious difficulty of pas∣sing over them: as Strabo instantly after them, speakeh of other mountaines towards Arabia and Iturea, which hee titleth 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, hills hard to travell over. Josephus supposeth Vz the eldest sonne of Aram, to have been the first Inhabiter of this Country, Antiq. lib. 1. cap. 7. but whether it were that sonne of his or no, it is not so ma∣teriall to inquire, as it is to observe that it was reputed a Country belonging to Aram, or within the compasse of Syria: very theevish in the time of Herod, and the Inhabitants living upon the robbe∣ry of the Damascens, that lay neere unto them: Joseph. Antiq. lib. 15. cap. 13.
