<p> '''''ē´non''''' ( Αἰνών , <i> '''''Ainō̇n''''' </i> ): The place where John was baptizing "because there was much water there" ( John 3:23 ). it was on the west side of the Jordan, the place where John baptized at the first being on the east ( John 1:28; John 3:26; John 10:40 ). We may be sure it was not in [[Samaritan]] territory. Eusebius, Onomasticon locates it 8 [[Roman]] miles South of [[Scythopolis]] ( <i> '''''Beisān''''' </i> ), this stretch of land on the west of the [[Jordan]] being then, not under Samaria, but under Scythopolis. its position is defined by nearness to Salim. Various identifications have been suggested, the most probable being the springs near <i> '''''Umm el''''' </i> - <i> '''''‛Amdān''''' </i> , which exactly suit the position indicated by Eusebius, Onomasticon. See discussion under [[Salim]] . </p> | |||
