| <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>
