Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. A city of Gilead, as Josephus (u) calls it; Jerom (w), under this word Camon, makes mention of a village in his times, called Cimana, in the large plain six miles from Legion to the north, as you go to Ptolemais; but, as Reland (x) observes, this seems not to be the same place, but rather this is the Camon Polybius (y) speaks of among other cities of Peraea, taken by Antiochus.
(u) Antiqu. l. 5. c. 7. sect. 6. (w) De loc. Hebrews. fol. 90. B. (x) Palestina Illustr. tom. 2. p. 679. (y) Hist. l. 5.
