Syracuse <4946> [Syracuse.]
Syracuse was the capital of Sicily, situated on the eastern side of the island, 72 miles S. by E. of Messina, and about 112 of Palermo. In its ancient state of splendour it was 22« in extent, according to Strabo; and such was its opulence, that when the Romans took it, they found more riches than they did at Carthage.

And when afterwards Claudius had given to Agrippa the tetrarchy of Philip, he nevertheless kept the province of Judea in his own hands, and governed it by procurators sent from Rome.
