Subjects in this Topic:

mes´a-loth (Μεσσα;ώθ, Messalṓth, Μαισαλώθ, Maisalṓth): A place mentioned in the account of the march of Bacchides and Alcimus into Judah, as “in Arbela” (1 Macc 9:2). If Arbela be identical with Irbil or Irbid on the southern lip of Wādy el-Ḥamām, West of the Sea of Galilee, this fixes the locality; but no name resembling Mesaloth has been found.
