<p> ''''' les´ô ''''' ( Λεσσαού , <i> ''''' Lessaoú ''''' </i> ; the King James Version [[Dessau]] ): | <p> ''''' les´ô ''''' ( Λεσσαού , <i> ''''' Lessaoú ''''' </i> ; the King James Version [[Dessau]] ): A place mentioned only in 2 [[Maccabees]] 14:16 as the scene of a battle between Nicanor and the Jews. "Dessau" of the King James Version arises from confusion of the captical Greek letters, Lambda ( Λ ) with Delta ( Δ ). The place may be identical with [[Adasa]] (which see). </p> | ||
