Philip the tetrarch so increased its population that it was reckoned as a city, and was called Julius in honor of Julia, the daughter of the emperor Augustus (Josephus, Antiquities 18, 2, 1; Pliny, h. n. 5, 15). Many think that this city is referred to in Luk_9:10, on account of Mar_6:32; Mar_6:45; Joh_6:1; others that the Evangelists disagree. Cf. Winers RWB under the word; Raumer, p. 122f; (BB.
