Subjects in this Topic:
OCINA.—Taking the towns mentioned in order as fearing the advance of Holofernes (Jdt_2:28), Sidon and Tyre are well known. With some certainty Sur may be identified with Umm el-’Amûd, S. of Iskanderûna, which seems to have been formerly called Turân. The next step takes us naturally to Acre, in later times known as Accon, in which we may find an echo of the earlier Ocina.
