les´ô (Λεσσαού, Lessaoú; the King James Version Dessau): A place mentioned only in 2 Macc 14:16 as the scene of a battle between Nicanor and the Jews. “Dessau” of the King James Version arises from confusion of the captical Greek letters, Lambda (Λ) with Delta (Δ). The place may be identical with ADASA (which see).
