Of Trachonitis.

THis city was so called from the stony hardnes of the moun∣tains of Gilead which compasse it in vpon the East side: in which prouince the tribe of Gad and the halfe tribe of Manasses inhabited. It was in antient times called Basan; in which Og the mighty Gyant had a great command: but Moses ouercame him, and gaue the land to the tribe of Gad and the half tribe of Manas∣ses. In Christs time the Tetrarch and gouernour of it was Philip, who was son to Herod the Great, and brother to Herod Antipas Te∣trach in Galile and Petraea; which Herod tooke to wife Herodia, whom his brother Philip had formerly maried, the said Philip bee∣ing at that time aliue: but because Iohn Baptist reprehended him for that fact, therefore at her request he was beheaded in the Ca∣stle of Machera.

Itura was another Prouince belonging to the tetrarchy of Phi∣lip, ioyning vpon the West to the riuer of Iordan, and called Gali∣le of the Gentiles, of which you may reade before.
