Συκάμινον ), on the Mediterranean, opposite Carmel, between Ptolemaisa and [[Caesarea]] (Pliny, 5, 15, 5), according to the ''Itin. Ainton.'' twenty Roman miles from the latter; called ''Hephat'' ( ῾Ηφά ) in the time of [[Eusebius]] ''(Onoze.'' s.v. Ι᾿αφέδ), and still extant (Golii ''Not. ad Alfrag.'' p. 132) under the name of ''Haiffa'' (Robinson's ''Researches, 3,'' 194). He also regards it as the ''Jebba'' of Pliny (5, 18), which Gesenius, however ''(Thesaur.'' p. 613), shows is distinguished from Sycaminum.. This position does not agree with the requirements of the text. The place has been identified by Dr. Robinson ''(Researches, 3:'' 200) with the modern village ''Yafa,'' about a mile and a half southwest of Nazareth (Schubert, Reise, 3, 203), where the [[Italian]] monks fix the residence of the apostle James (Raumer, Palast. p. 127). See Quaresmius, Elucidatio, 2, 843; and Early Travels, p. 186: Maundeville calls it the "Castle of Saffra." So, too, Von Harff, [[A.D.]] 1498 (Pilgerfahrt, p. 195). Although situated in a valley, the tribal line must have crossed ("went up," text of Joshua) the hills on the south of it (Keil; Comment. ad loc.). It contains about thirty houses, with the remains of a church, and has a few single palm-trees. Eusebius and [[Jerome]] doubtless refer to this place, as "Japhet, in the tribe of Zebulon, still called Jophe, or the ascent of Japho" (Onoma. s.v. Japhic). The Japha (Ι᾿αφά ) fortified by [[Josephus]] (Life, 37, 45) was probably the same, a large and strong village of Galilee, afterwards captured by [[Trajan]] and Titus, under the orders of Vespasian. In the storm and sack of the place, according to the same writer, 15,000 of the inhabitants were put to the sword, and 2130 made captives ( lar, 2, 20, 6; 3:7, 31). With this location De Saulcy (Narrat. 1, 73) and Schwarz (Palestine, p. 170) coincide, as also [[Van]] de Velde (ilemnzoi, p. 321) and [[Porter]] (Handbook, p. 385). </p>
