Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary
A place rendered memorable by our Lord's having visited it, and working a miracle there upon a poor creature under possession of an evil spirit. (See Matthew 8:28) It is more than probable, that this was the same nation as is called in the Old Testament Girgashites; one of the cities of Canaan beyond the sea of Tiberias.
