If this village was included (a very natural supposition) in the district belonging to the city of Gadara, some miles south-eastward, then the locality could be described as either in the country of the Gadarenes, or in the country of the Gerasenes.] [Footnote b: Matthew mentions two demoniacs, Mark and Luke describe one, who was probably the prominent and leading one.] [Footnote c: Note in Mark the numerous vivid details and fulness of narrative.] § 67.
