Notes (1)

[1] (Likewise in ps.-Herodian 152.) Chorazin (present-day Khirbet Kerraze), an ancient town resting in the hills overlooking Capern(a)um, is situated at the northern end of the Sea of Galilee and to the west of the Jordan River. The spelling in Greek varies: e.g. *xorazei/n with omicron instead of omega, and epsiloniota instead of iota.
2In Matthew 11:21 and Luke 10:13 it is Jesus who denounces Chorazin (and Bethsaida: beta 253) for rejecting his message, although it had witnessed his miracles.
