Dessail [1]
( Δεσσαού v. r. Λεσσαού, perh. for Chald, דַּישׁוּ, i.e. דַּישׁוּת, trituration; Vulg. Dessau), a village ( κώμη, castellum) at which Nicanor's army was once encamped during his campaign with Judas ( 2 Maccabees 14:16). There is no mention of it by this name in the account of these transactions in 1 Maccabees or in Josephus, but Ewald conjectures ( Gesch. Isr. 4:368 note) that it may have been the ADASA (See Adasa) (q.v.) in the same region ( 1 Maccabees 7:40; 1 Maccabees 7:45; Joseph. War, 3:6).
