Chalcis [1]
( Χαλκίς ), a city of Palestine mentioned by Josephus (Ant. 14:3, 2; 7, 4; 19:5,1; 8, 1; 20:1, 3; 7, 1; War, 1:9, 2; 2:12, 1) and Strabo (16:2, 16, p. 753, 755) as lying under Mount Lebanon, near Heliopolis; but thought by Reland (Palaest. p. 315) to be different from the Chalcis in Syria, placed by the Antonine Itinerary between Beroa (Bercea or Berea) and Androna. Modern travelers (Thomson, in the Bibliotheca Sacra, 1848, p. 761; Seetzen, Reise, 1:262; Porter, 1:14-16; Robinson, Lat. Bibl. Res. p. 497, 498) have sought its site in the considerable ruins near Medjel Anjar, 3 hours S. of Zahleh (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 303).
