356. Gebein (Gebin). Isaiah 10:31; K. 74:1; L. 256:2.
Onomasticon is confused with Geba (K. 70:7). The town falsely equated with Gebim is north of Jifneh , which is this Gouphna (cp. K. 26:2 and K. 168:16). This town is et tell on the Wadi el jib which preserves the Byzantine name. The biblical site was in vicinity of Mt.Scopus.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Gebim, cisterns" (121).
357. Gōzan. Isaiah 37:12; K. 74:3; L. 256:4.
Textual variant Gōzath (Greek).
This is outside the normal limits of the Holy Land. Probably an addition.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Gozan, their nut" (121).
358. Garēb. Jeremiah 31:39; K. 74:5; L. 256:6.
Textual variant Garēy (Greek).
Simple biblical note. The next 3 entries and this are late additions.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Garab, scabs or many people" (127).
359. Gēbarōth (Gebarth). Jeremiah 41:17; K. 74:6; L. 256:7.
Textual variant Gebaroth (Latin).
Simple Hexaplaric information. Not properly a place name. One of a series of late additions.
360. Gaimōd (Gemen or Gamon). Isaiah 60:6; K. 74:9; L. 256:8.
Textual variants: Gaimōn or Gaimōl (Greek) and Gamen or Gamol (Latin).
Simple reference to a dubious place. Only the Latin text has the double tradition of spelling (cf. K. 78:20 and K. 138:8). One of a series of late additions.
361. Gaipha (Gefa). Isaiah 60:6; K. 74:9; L. 256:8.
The order of these last two entries is reversed in the Latin. This is also out of the territory of the Holy Land and is suspect as are many of the prophetic entries. Called a region (cp. K. 138:22) perhaps by interpretation in a marginal gloss.
362. Gadara. Matthew 8:28; K. 74:10; L. 256:11.
This is a city of the Decapolis (K. 80:16) which is generally located at Umm Qeis overlooking the Yarmuq. On the Tabula Peutinger it is 16 miles from Tiberias. It was a strong military city. A bishop was at the Council of Nicea. The hot baths of Amatha are not far away (K. 22:26). Origen in his Commentary on John 6:4 remarks about the renowned hot baths of Gadara (cf. K. 64:1 where it is confused with Gerasa).
363. Gergesa. Matthew 5:1; K. 74:13; L. 256:14.
Textual variant Gergessa, Gerges (Latin).
At this point we have a distinction made with Gerasa (K. 64:l). Procopius 349B follows Eusebius "Gergasenes lived near Gadara. Now Gergesau the desert reaching Lake Tiberias." This location is dependent upon Origen who in his Commentary on John 6:4 remarks "The Gergasenes are from an old city near Lake Tiberias on a cliff extending down to the Lake. Nearby they show (the hill) of the pigs thrown down by the demons." This probably is present Chorsia ( el Kursi ) on the East shore of the Sea above Hippos (K. 22:21).
364. Gethsimanē (Gethsimani). Matthew 26:36; K. 74:16; L. 257:18.
