PHARATHON. Named, with Timnath and Tephon, among the cities which Bacchides ‘strengthened with high walls, with gates and with bars’ ( 1Ma 9:60 ). Some authorities read with LXX [Note: Septuagint.] ‘Timnath-pharathon,’ as indicating one place. Conder suggests Fer‘on , about 15 miles W. of Nâhlus. This seems to be too far to the north, as the towns mentioned are all ‘in Jud¿a.’ It may possibly be Fer‘ata , 6 miles S.W. of Nâblus, although the same difficulty exists in a modified degree. Cf. Pirathon.
