ANTHEDON later AGRIPPIAS (Khirbet Teda) Israel.

A Greek city 3.2 km N of Gaza on the Mediterranean coast. Pliny (HN 5.14), who writes that Anthedon was an inland town, was probably mistaken. The city was conquered by Alexander Jannaeus (Joseph., AJ 13.395), but freed by Pompey in 64 B.C. Augustus gave the city to Herod (AJ 10.217), who renamed it Agrippias or Agrippion in honor of Augustus' son-in-law Marcus Vispanius Agrippa. On coins struck from the times of Elagabalus to Septimius Severus, however, the old name reappears.
