ΤῊ Ἢ to smell, so called from its fertility in aromatics), Jericho, a noted city, abounding in balsam [i. e. perh. the opobalsamum; ef. Tristram, Nat. Hist. ete. p. 337; B. Ὁ. s. v. Balm], honey, cyprus [prob. Arab. “el-henna”; ef. Tristram u. s., s. v. Camphire], myrobalanus [ Arab. “zukkum”’], roses, and other fragrant productions. It was situated not far from the northern shore of the Dead Sea, in the tribe of Benjamin, between the city of Jerusalem and the river Jordan, 150 stadia from the former and 60 from the latter. Joseph. b. j- 4, 8, 3 calls its territory θεῖον χωρίον. It is mentioned in the N. T. in Mt. xx. 29; Mk. x. 46; Lk. x. 30; xviii. 35; xix. 1; Heb. xi. 30. As balsam was exported thence to other countries, we read Lk. xix. 2 that τελῶναι were stationed there, with an ἀρχιτελώνης, for the purpose of collecting the revenues. Fora fuller account of the city see Win. RWB. 5. v.; Arnold in Herzog vi. p. 494 sq. 5 Furrer. in Schenkel iii. 209 54.; Keim iii. 17 sq.
