[12.26] Libanius, _Antioch_ p. 315; _De carcere vinctis_, p. 455; Julian Misopogon, p. 367, edit. Spanheim. [12.27] Libanius, _Pro rhetoribus_, p. 211. [12.28] Libanius, _Antiochichus_, p. 363. [12.29] Libanius, _Antiochichus_, p. 354 et seq. [12.30] The actual enclosure, which is of the time of Justinian, presents the same particulars. [12.31] Libanius, _Antioch._, p. 337, 338, 339. [12.32] The lake _Ak Denir_, which forms on this side the actual limit of the territory of Antakieh, had, as it appears, no existence in olden times. See Ritter, _Erdkunde_, xvii. p. 1149, 1613 et seq. [12.33] Josephus _Ant._, xii. iii. 1; xiv. xii. 6; _Wars of the Jews_, ii. xviii. 5; vii. iii. 2-4. [12.34] Josephus, _against Apion_, ii. 4; _Wars of the Jews_, vii. iii. 2-4. [12.35] Malala, p. 244, 245; Jos., _Wars of the Jews_, vii. v. 2. [12.36] _Acts_ vi. 5. [12.37] Ibid. xi. 19, et seq. [12.38] Compare Josephus, _Wars of the Jews_, ii. xviii. 2. [12.39] _Acts_ xv. 20, 21. The proper reading is Ἕλληνας Ἕλληνιστας comes from a false agreement with ix. 29. [12.40] Malala, p. 245. The narrative of Malala cannot, indeed, be exact, Josephus says not a word respecting the invasion of which the chronographer makes mention. [12.41] Malala, p 243, 265-266. Compare "_Memoirs of Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres_," session of 17 August, 1865. [12.42] S Athanasius, _Tomus ad Antioch_. (Opp. vol. i. p. 771, edit. Montfaucon); S.

The agreement of these passages does not permit of ἐν τῆ καλουμένη Παλαιᾷ being rendered by "in that which was called the old town," as the editors have sometimes done. [12.43] Malala, p. 242. [12.44] Pococke, _Descript. of the East_, vol. ii. part i. p. 192 (London 1745), Chesney, _Expedition for the Survey of the Rivers Euphrates and Tigris_, i. 425, et seq. [12.45] That is to say, opposite to that part of the old town which is still inhabited. [12.46] See below. [12.47] The type of the Maronites is reproduced in a striking manner in the country of Antakieh, Soneideieb, and Beylan.
