As the scriptural notices of him all refer to the country east of Jordan, there is no reason against accepting the statement of [[Josephus]] (Ant. v. 7, 6) that Camon (Καμῶν ) was a city of Gilead. In support of this is the mention by [[Polybius]] (v. 70, 12) of a ''Crmus'' (Καμοῦς, for Καμοῦν ) in company with [[Pella]] and other trans-Jordanic places taken by [[Antiochus]] (Reland, ''Palcest.'' p. 679; Ritter, ''Erdk. 15:'' 1026). [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] ''(Onomast. S.V. Καμών,'' Camon) evidently confound it with the [[Cyamon]] ( Judith 7:3) in the plain of Esdraelon; and this has misled Schwarz ''(Palest.'' p. 233).
