Caphethra [1]
( Καφεθρά ), a pretentious little town ( Ψευδοπολίχνιον ) in Upper Idumaea, apparently not far from Capharabis (q.v.), taken and burnt by Cerealis, the general of Vespasian (Josephus, War, 4:9, 9). The name occurs with considerable variety in the texts ( Καφεθραμίς , etc., Hudson, in loc.), and Petmus Apollonius (De Excid. Hieros. 3:65) gives it simply as Caphara, from which it seems possible that the scriptural CHEPHIRAH (See Chephirah) (q.v.) may be intended.
