Gergesenes3 parallels

Some are of opinion that Gergasa was the country of the ancient Girgashites; but it is more probable the Gergesenes was introduced by Origen upon mere conjecture; as before him most copies seem to have read Gadarenes , agreeable to the Parallel Passages and the ancient Syriac version. Gadara , says Josephus , was the metropolis of Peraea , or the region beyond Jordan; and he also observes that it was sixty furlongs , or about eight miles from Tiberias. It is therefore rightly placed opposite Tiberias , at the southeast end of the lake. Pliny says it was called Hippodion , was one of the cities of Decapolis , and had the river Hieromax , or Jarmouk , flowing before it. It was of heathen jurisdiction; whence perhaps it was destroyed by the Jews; but was rebuilt by Pompey , and joined to the province of Syria. Augustus afterwards gave it to Herod , on whose death it was again annexed to Syria. It is now called Om Keis; its ruins are in a very mutilated state , and when visited by Burckhardt it had not a single inhabitant. The remains of the sepulchral caverns in which the demoniacs abode are still to be seen
