(anc. geog.), a sea-port town of Phœnicia on the Mediterranean, so ancient as to be thought to have been built by Saturn. It was destroyed by Tryphon, but rebuilt by the Romans. Agrippa placed here two legions, whence it became a colony. It enjoyed the jus Italicum, and had an excellent school for the study of the law in Justinian's time. Now Beroe; which see.
