of Caesarea Philippi <5376 2542> [Caesarea Philippi.]
C‘sarea Philippi was anciently called Paneas, from the mountain of Panium, or Hermon, at the foot of which it was situated, near the springs of Jordan; but Philip the tetrarch, the son of Herod the Great, having rebuilt it, gave it the name of C‘sarea in honour of Tiberius, the reigning emperor, and he added his own name to it, to distinguish it from another C‘sarea on the coast of the Mediterranean. It was afterwards named Neronias by the young Agrippa, in honour of Nero; and in the time of William of Tyre, it was called Belinas. It was, according to Josephus, a day's journey from Sidon, and 120 stadia from the lake of Phiala; and, according to Abulfeda, a journey of a day and a half from Damascus. Many have confounded it with Dan, or Leshem; but Eusebius and Jerome expressly affirm that Dan was four miles from Paneas, on the road to Tyre. It is now called Banias, and is described, by Seetzen, as a hamlet of about twenty miserable huts, inhabited by Mohammedans; but Burckhardt says it contains about 150 houses, inhabited by Turks, Greeks, etc.

This appears to refer to the mediatorial kingdom which our Lord was about to set up, by the destruction of the Jewish nation and polity, and the diffusion of the gospel throughout the world.

This tribute seems to have been the half shekel which every male among the Jews paid yearly for the support of the temple, and which was continued by them, wherever dispersed, till after the time of Vespasian.

This mode of punishment appears to have obtained in Syria as well as in Greece, especially in cases of parricide. That it was customary in Greece we learn from Suidas, in [hyperbolon lithon,] and the scholiast on the Equites of Aristophanes: [Hotan <\\See definition 3752\\> gar <\\See definition 1063\\> katara <\\See definition 2671\\> tinos <\\See definition 5099\\> baros <\\See definition 922\\> apo <\\See definition 575\\> ton trachelos <\\See definition 5137\\> kremannumi <\\See definition 2910\\>.] "When a person was drowned, they hung a weight about his neck."

[Murias <\\See definition 3461\\> talanton <\\See definition 5007\\>,] a myriad of talents, the highest number known in Greek arithmetical notation. According to Prideaux, the Roman talent was equal to 216Å“; ten thousand of which would amount to 2,160,000Å“. If the Jewish talent of silver be designed, which is estimated by the same learned writer at 450Å“., this sum amounts to 4,500,000Å“.; but if the gold talent is meant, which is equal to 7200Å“., then the amount is 72,000,000Å“. This immense sum represents our boundless obligations to God, and our utter incapacity, as sinners infinitely indebted to Divine justice, of paying one mite out of the talent.

Rather, "a hundred denarii," as our penny does not convey one seventh of the meaning. This would amount to about 3Å“. 2s. 6d. English; which was not one six hundred thousandth part of the 10,000 talents, even calculating them as Roman talents.

This was our Lord's final departure from Galilee, previous to his crucifixion; but he appears to have taken in a large compass in his journey, and passed through the districts east of Jordan. Some learned men, however, are of opinion, that instead of "beyond Jordan," we should render, "by the side of Jordan," as [peran <\\See definition 4008\\>,] especially with a genitive, sometimes signifies.
