Caesarea Philippi (Καισάpeta ἡ Φιλίππου), situated at the foot of Lebanon near the sources of the Jordan in Gaulanitis, and formerly called Paneas (jv Πανεάδα Φοίνικες προσαγορεύουσιν, Kus. h.e. 7,17); but after being rebuilt by Philip the tetrarch, it was called by him Caesarea in honor of Tiberius Caesar (Joseph. antt. 18, 2, 1 sq.) ; subsequently it was called Neronias by Agrippa II., in honor of Nero (Joseph. antt. 20, 9,4); now Banids, a village of about 150 [(?) “about 50” (Bddeker), “some forty” (Murray) | houses: Mt. xvi. 13; Mk. viii. 27. 2. Casarea (more fully Cesarea of Palestine [mod. Kaisariyeh]), built near the Mediterranean by Herod the Great on the site of Strato’s Tower, between Joppa and Dora. It was provided with a magnificent harbor and had conferred upon it the name of Casarea, in honor of Augustus. It was the residence of the Roman procurators, and the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks (Joseph. antt. 13,11, 2; 15, 9,6; 19, 8, 2; b.j. 2,9, 1): Acts viii. 40; 1x. 30; x. 1, 24; xi. 11; xii. 19; xviii. 22; xxi. 8, 16; xxiii 23,33; xxv. 1,4, 6,13.
