Whereby their error is sufficiently discovered, which feign that Gaza was a Persian name, so called of riches, because Cambyses, when he would make war in Greece, laid up his treasure there. But because in Luke, mention ⟨p. 66⟩is made of the desert of Gaza•it appeareth, that a city of the same name was builded near to it, but in another place. Asdod is that City, which the Grecians called Azotus. Now, all this Sea coast, or that which is nigh the Sea, is brought a long even unto Sidon. And there be which think, that the Phoenicians in times past, were Lords both of Gaza and Azotus. Now far the mount Libanus extendeth, it is well known: for some time it comprehendeth the mount Hermon. And for the length of it, one part of it is called Antilibanus. Of that mount Hermon the reader shall find Deuteronomy. 4. Toward the East is Hemath, which is also called Antiochia of Syria.
