<p> (Ἀνθηδών, apparently a [[Greek]] name, signifying flowery), a city on the coast of Palestine, 20 stadia from [[Gaza]] (Sozomen, Hist. Ecclesiastes 5:1-20; Ecclesiastes 9:1-18), to the south-west (comp. Ptolemy, in Reland, Paloest. p. 460). It was taken and destroyed by [[Alexander]] [[Jannaeus]] (Josephus, Ant. 13, 13, 3; comp. 15, 4), but restored by [[Gabinius]] (ib. 14, 5, 3), and added by [[Augustus]] to the dominions of [[Herod]] the [[Great]] (ib. 15, 7, 3), who changed its name to Agrippias (Ἀγριππιάς, ib. 13, 13, 3). In the Chronicon Paschale it appears as Cariantfedon, i.e. Keriath ("city") of [[Anthedon]] (Reland, Paloest. p. 567). In the time of [[Julian]] it was much addicted to [[Gentile]] superstition (Sozomen, ut sup.), particularly the worship of [[Astarte]] (Venus), as appears from a coin of [[Antoninus]] and [[Caracalla]] (Vaillant, Numism. Colon. p. 115). Its bishops are named in several of the early councils (Reland, ib. p. 568). The notices correspond very well to the position assigned by [[Van]] de Velde (Map) at [[Tell]] Ajjur, a small village on the shore near Gaza (Robinson, Researches, 2, 351). </p> | |||
