<p> | <p> [[Antipatris]] (''ăn-tip'a-tr'' ''ĭs'' ), ''for the father.'' [[A]] city of Palestine, situated in the midst of a fertile and well-watered plain, between [[Cæsarea]] and Lydda, called by Josephus, "the plain of [[Caphar]] Saba." It was rebuilt by Herod the Great, and called "Antipatris," in honor of his father, Antipater. Its ancient splendor has passed away; it is now marked by the ruins called ''Ras-el Ain.'' Acts 23:31. </p> | ||
