Excerpt: ...those tribes or nations lost part of their possessions by the conquest of Joshua, who put the Israelites in possession of the middle part of their coast from Jamilia to Mount Carmel. But when the Israelites, or rather the Ten Tribes, were carried into captivity, the portion of the country occupied by those tribes reverted to its former masters, who reuntted it to their ancient dominions. From this time the Phoenicians and Philistines were so mingled that they were considered the same people. The whole coast was known by the name of Phoenicia, originally called Phenice, from its abounding in date trees in a country not very remarkable for its fertility.

It may be said to be bounded by Syria on the north and east, by Judea on the south, and by the Mediterranean on the west. On the coast of Phenice were Tiipolis, Byblus, Berytus, Sidon, Sarepta, Tyre, and other towns, but Sidon may be properly called the Phoenician capital. The province was considerably extended in the times of Christianity, when it included Damascus and Palmyra. St Matthew, who wrote his Gospel either in Hebrew or Syriac, mentions the Syro-Phoenician woman, as she is called by St Mark, as a Canaanite, but St Mark's designation of Syro-Phoenician, or a Phoenician of Syria, is appropriate, because Phenice was then a province and a part of Syria, and it...
