A city [mentioned] in Josephus.
Greek Original:
*dh/fhla: po/lis para\ *)iwsh/pw|.
Note:
Likewise ps.-Zonaras and, according to Adler, the Ambrosian Lexicon; however, as she noted, this toponym is not found in Josephus, and is in fact unattested outside lexicography. (Perhaps [NF] an error for the Shephela area of Judaea, Barrington Altas map 70 grid F2/G2, though [DW] that too is not in Josephus.)
