BEROEA, in Ancient Geography, a noble city of Macedonia, to the south of Edessa, or Ægeæ, and south-east of Cyrus. The people are commended in Scripture for their reception of the Gospel on a fair and impartial examination.—Another Beroæa, of Syria (Stephanus); called also Beroe, and by the inhabitants Beroëa. It was the standing tradition for some ages, that it is the modern Aleppo; called Chalep in Nicæas, Nicæphorus, and Zonaras; from which it is supposed the present appellation Aleppo is derived; distant 90 miles from the Levant sea and the port of Scandermon, and about 100 miles west of the Euphrates.
