( ῾Ραμαθέμ V. r. ῾Ραθαμείν ; Josephus, ῾Ραμαθά [[[Ant]] . 13:4, 9]; Vulg. Ramathan), one of the three "governments" ( Νομοί and Τοπαρχίαι ( Lt ) which were added to Judtea by king Demetrius Nicator out of the country of Samaria ( 1 Maccabees 11:34); the others were Aphmerema and Lydda. It no doubt derived its name from a town of the name of Ramathaim, probably that renowned as the birthplace of Samuel the prophet. — Smith.
