bot´ris ( Βότρυς , Bótrus ; modern Batrûn ): A town of Phoenicia on the coast some miles North of Gebal (Byblus) on the southern side of the bold promontory called in classic times Theoprosopon. It is said to have been founded by Ithobal (Ethbaal), king of Tyre, whose daughter married Ahab (Josephus, Ant , VIII, xiii, 2). The town is not mentioned in Scripture.
