Antipatris [1]
an -tip´a -tris ( Ἀντίπατρις , Antı́patris ): Is mentioned in Scripture only once, in connection with the descent of Paul from Jerusalem to Caesarea ( Acts 23:31 ). References will be found in Ant , Xiii , xv 1; Xvi , v, 2; BJ , I, xxi, 9. It was a town built by Herod the Great, and called after his father Antipater. It is probably identical with the modern Rās el - ‛Ain , "fountain head," a large mound with ruins at the source of Nahr el‛Aujeh , in the plain to the Northeast of Jaffa. There are remains of a crusading castle which may be the Mirabel of those times.
