( Δάναβα ), a small town placed by Ptolemy (v. 15, 24) in Palmyrene, a subdivision of his Coele-Syria; also mentioned under the name Danabe in the war between the emperor Julian and the Persians (Zozim. Hist . 3, 27, 7). It does not appear to correspond to any of the three places of a similar name mentioned by Eusebius ( Δαναβά , Δαννέα ) and Jerome ( Onomast. s.v. Damnaba), lying in the region of Moabitis. It- was the seat of a bishopric ( Notit. Eccles .), and has lately been identified by Porter (Damascus , 1:346) — from an Arabic MS. written in the 7th century by Macarius — with Saidnaya, now a large village at the foot of Anti- Lebanon, with a convent and extensive ruins (Van de Velde, Memoir , p. 306).
