Crocodilopolis

Crocodilopolis

( Κροκοδείλων Πόλις ), the name of a town in Syria, situated near a river of the same name ( Crocodilon Flumen , between Caesarea Palaestinae and Ptolemais (Strabo, 16, p. 758; Pliny, 5. 17, 19). Reland ( Palaest . p. 739) thinks the latter may have been the same with the SHIHOR-LIBNATH (See Shihor-Libnath) (q.v.) of  Joshua 19:26. It is now identified with the Nahr Zerka (Raumer,, Palast . p. 53,191), in which crocodiles have been found (Pococke, Travels , 2:58; Thomson, Land And Book , 2:244).
