in Ancient Geography, a town of Galilee, (Ptolemy); of the Persea, (Josephus); which being walled round by Herod Antipas, was called Julias, after Julia, the daughter of Augustus, and comfort of Tiberius; it stood to the north of the lake of Genesareth, at the influx of the Jordan into that lake; and here Dr Wells places Bethsaida.
