Notes

  1. 'Medama' here in the Suda but correctly Medaba in Josephus (Jewish Antiquities 13.11 and passim). See also e.g. 1 Maccabees 9:36 and especially Stephanus of Byzantium s.v.: 'Medaba, a city of the Nabataeans'. A.k.a. Madaba (still its present-day name, in present-day Jordan): Barrington Atlas map 71 grid B2.
