Eusebius of Caesarea · a new plain-English translation from the Greek
?| Of Genesis. Ararat (Gen 8:4). Armenia. The ark is said to have come to rest on the mountains of Ararat, and they say that remains of the ark are shown to this day on the mountains of Armenia. Jeremiah too mentions Ararat in his vision against Babylon. And Josephus, in the first book of the Jewish Antiquities, in giving an account of the place, also cites witnesses from outside, writing in these very words: "When Noah learned that the earth was rid of the flood, he waited another seven days and let the animals out of the ark; and he himself came out with his family, sacrificed to God, and feasted with his household. The Armenians, however, call this place the Landing-Place; for it was there that the ark came safely to rest, and the people of the region still show its remains. All who have written the histories of the barbarians mention this flood and the ark, among them Berossus the Chaldean. For in narrating the events of the flood he goes through them somewhat as follows: 'It is said that some part of the vessel still remains in Armenia by the mountain of the Cordyaeans, and that some people carry off bitumen, scraping it from the vessel. People use what is carried away chiefly for charms to avert evil.' Hieronymus the Egyptian, who wrote the Phoenician Antiquities, also mentions these things, as do Mnaseas and many others. And Nicolaus of Damascus, in his ninety-sixth book, gives an account of them, speaking thus: 'There is above the Minyas country in Armenia a great mountain called Baris, on which, the story goes, many took refuge at the time of the flood and were saved, and one man, carried in an ark, ran aground on the summit, and the remnants of the timbers were kept for a long time. This might be the man about whom Moses, the Jewish lawgiver, also wrote.'" Achad (Gen 10:10). A city of Nimrod's kingdom, in Babylon. Aggai (Gen 12:8). West of Bethel. They are not far apart. Bethel lies on the left of the road as one goes from Neapolis to Aelia, at about the twelfth milestone from Aelia. Bethel survives to this day, but Aggai is shown only as a deserted site. Scripture also calls it Gai. Astaroth Karnaim (Gen 14:5). A land of giants beyond the [….], whom Chedorlaomer cut down. To this day there are two villages in Batanaea, also called Batolua, nine miles apart, between Adara and the city of Abila. Arbo (Gen 23:2). "This is Hebron." Now a very large village; in ancient times the chief city of the foreigners, a dwelling place of giants, and afterward David's royal seat. It was allotted to the tribe of Judah and was a priestly city, one of the cities of refuge, lying twenty-two miles south of Aelia. The oak of Abraham and his tomb are to be seen there, and the terebinth is conspicuously venerated by the pagans, as are the angels who were Abraham's guests. Formerly called Arbo, it was later called Hebron, after Hebron, one of the sons of Caleb, as in Chronicles. Ailam (Gen 14:1). It lies at the farthest limits of Palestine, next to the desert to the south and the Red Sea beside it, which is navigable for those sailing across from Egypt and from India. The Tenth Roman Legion is stationed there. It is now called Aila. There was also, in ancient times, a nation of Ailamites, and Chedorlaomer was their king. Another Ailam, of the foreigners, also appears in Kings. Adama (Gen 14:2). One of the five cities of Sodom, destroyed with the rest. Asasan Thamar (Gen 14:7). Where the Amorites lived, whom Chedorlaomer cut down. It lies by the desert of Kades. A village called Thamara is mentioned, a day's journey from Mapsis as one goes from Hebron to Ailam; it is now a garrison post for soldiers. Alua (Gen 36:40). A district of the chiefs of Edom, next to what is now the city of Petra. Ainan (Gen 38:14). "Which is on the way to Thamna." Ainan is now a deserted place near Thamna, a very large village inhabited to this day, which lies between Aelia and Diospolis. There is a spring at the place called Ainan, beside which there was an idol honored by the local people. Halon Atad (Gen 50:10). "Which is beyond the Jordan," where they mourned for Jacob. The place is three miles from Jericho and some two miles from the Jordan. It is now called Bethagla, which is interpreted "place of the circle," because those mourning Jacob went around in a circle there.

To this day a ravine is pointed out, extremely rugged, called the Arnon, extending toward the northern parts of Areopolis, where military garrisons guard it on every side because of the dread of the place. In ancient times it belonged to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who took it from the Moabites.

Aroer (Deut 3:12; 4:48), which is on the edge of the torrent-bed of the Arnon: a city of Moab, which the "Ommeim" once held, a nation that the sons of Lot, descended from Moab, destroyed.

There is also a very large village nine miles east of Neapolis, on the way down to the Jordan toward Jericho, through the region called Akrabattine. The Amorite boundary too is called Akrabeim, from which the tribe of Naphtali did not drive out the foreigners, as in Judges. Asadadda (Num 34:8): a northern boundary of Judaea. <Arad (Num 34:4): this too a boundary of Judaea.> It is twenty miles south of Hebron. It is listed above. Asarenan (Num 34:9): a northern boundary of Judaea. Aserna (Num 34:10): this too a boundary of Judaea. Arbela (Num 34:11): an eastern boundary of Judaea.

Amalekitis (?): a country in the desert south of Judaea, lying above the city now called Petra, on the way to Aila. Scripture also marks it, saying, "Amalek dwells in the land toward the south."

A village survives there even now around the city of Gerasa of Arabia, about fifteen miles to the west, and it is now called Erya. Symmachus renders it "circuit." Asedoth (Deut 3:17): a city of the Amorites, which fell to the tribe of Reuben. It is called Asedoth Phaogo, that is, "hewn out." Abareim (Deut 32:49): the mountain on which Moses dies. It is said to be "Mount Nabau, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho," beyond the Jordan, "at the top of Phasga," and it is pointed out, for those going up from [….] to Esbus, called by the same names, near the mountain Phogor, which is so styled to this day; hence the region too is still called Phasga. Auoth Iair (Deut 3:14): <the settlements of Jair.> This is Basan. The villages of Jair are on Mount Gilead, which half the tribe of Manasseh took; and they are in the district called the Corner of Batanaea.

Asor (Jos 11:1): the city of the kingdom of Jabin, which alone Joshua burned, because it alone ruled over all the kingdoms of the foreigners.

Azotus (Jos 13:3), also Asdōd: a city that survives even now in Palestine, which in ancient times was one of the five satrapies of the Philistines. It was also allotted to Judah, but he did not gain control of it, because he did not destroy the Philistines in it. Ascalon (Jos 13:3): the most notable city of Palestine.
