 826 EMPORICUS SINUS. jMiniA TamcoDcnsis, on the small golf ((?. ofBotOB) which lies bekyw the £. eztreinity of the Pyreneee, nnd at the month of the river Glodiamu (^Flwria), >rhich formed its port. Its sitDation made it the natural landing-place iriim Qanl; and as imch it waa colonised at an earlj period bj the Phocaeansof Massalia. Their fint city (afterwards called the Old Town) was built on a small island, whence thejr passed o?er to the mainland: and here a double dty grew up, — the Greek town on the coast, and an Iberian settlement, of the tribe of the Indigetes, on the inland side of the other. Julius Caesar added a bodj of Roman colonists to the Greeks and Spaniaids; ttnd the place gradually coalesced into one Soman tity. On coins it is styled a mnnicipium.

It derived its name from the mercantile aettlements of the Phoenicians. Strabo says that the tides were here so great, that at high water the country was overflowed 7 stadia inland; a statement confinned by the great swamps which now cover tlie district. (SCrab. zvii. pp. 825, 829; Ptol. iv. I.) [P.S.] E'MPULUM (AmpigUone), a small town of La- tium, a dependency of Tibur, which was taken in B* c. 355 by the Roman consuls. (Liv. vii. 18.) This is the only mention of its name, and we have no due to its potdtlon; but the resemblance of name has induced Gell and Nibby to regard the remains of an andent town visible at a place called Ampi- glione (about 5 miles £. of TwoU^ on the road to SiciUaiRo as those of Empulum. Considersble portions of the walls remain, constructed of polygonal blocks of tnfo — the only instance of the employment of that material in this style of construction; but they are not of a massive character, and are inter- mixed with pordons of reticulated and other masonry, decidedly of the Roman period. The site was pro- bably used in later times as that of a Roman vilU. (QeU, Top, qf RomB, pp. 199—201 ; Nibby, Din- tomi, vol iL pp. 10, 1 1.) [E.U.B.] ENCHELANES (^EyxfJ^fs), a people and town of lUyricum, situated on the W. shore of Lake Lychnitis, in Dassaretia, subdued by Philip, b. g. 216. (Polyb. V. 108. § 8.) [E. B. J.] ENCflEXEES CEyx^^c^Ot u^ Illyrian tribe, whom the andent geographer Hecataens {Fr. 66 — 70, ed. Klansen) placed to the S. of the Taulantii. Sqrbx (/v. 58) has fixed their position N. of Epi- .damnus and the Taulantii. This tribe are connected with the cycle of myths concerning Cadmus. (Corop. Herod, y. 61.) [;£.B.J.] ENOEDI. ENDOB CAo^, LXX. ; "Er^cipor, Jime^ 'HvMp, *MiMpy Eoseb.), a village in Palestine, in- famous in the clonng scenes of Uie life of Saul fbr his consultation of the soroeress, on the eve of the battle of Gilboa. (1 Sanu xxviii. 7, &c) It ii reckoned to the half tribe of lianasseh, on this aide Jordan (Joah. xix. 11), and is pUoed by EuaebiiH and St. Jenxne {OnomatLt.v,) at the distance «f four miles to the south of Mount Tabor. It was a huge village in their time, and still exists under the same name, on the northern declivity of Little Her- mon, and near to Nain, — another mark of identifi- cation furnished by Eusebins. (Robinson, Bib. Re$, vol. Hi. p. 225.) [G. W.] E'NEA ('Eyea). Strabo (p. 552) mentions three plaoes, on the authority of Demetrius of Scepsis, ia the neighbourhood of Scepsis and the Aesepos; and these plaoes are: *'Enea, a village (mfi^n), and Agyiia and Alasia." In another passage Stnbo ({k 602), on the same authority, says : " On the right hand of the Aeeepus, between Polichne and Plalas- scepsis, is the Nea Come and silver mines;" and again he says that ^ Pahiescepais ia distant 50 stadia from Aenda, and 30 from the Aesepns." It is plain that Enea, Nea, and Aeneia, are all the same place, and therefofe there is some error in Stiabo's text, Groskurd iTransL Sirab, vol. ii. pp. 480, 580, note) takes 'Eyta to be the true name in the fint of these passages; and 'Ejf4a or Aireia to be the true name in the second. He takes Enea to be the modem Ene or Einiehf near the junction of tve branches of the ifeiMiers ChaL As to this point, see Nea and Nbandria, [G. L] ENEGLAIM CEvetyoXXf^i, LXX.; ^AyvXkfi^ Euseb.), a dty of Moab, mentioned only in Ezekiel (xlvii. 10); phused by Eusebins 8 miles south of Areopdis or Ar of Moab (^OnomasL §. «.), but doabt> less identical with the Eglaim of Isaiah, in the bnr> den of Moab (xv. 8). St Jerome (jCommaiL » Euk. I c) says that it was at the noithem ex- tremity of the Dead Sea, at the mouth of the Jordait, as indeed the passage in Ezekid implies that it was on the coast of the Dead Sea. [G. W.] ENGANNIM {'Hyatvd). 1. A dty utoated in that part of the tribe of Judah dedgnated "tl:e valley" or "the phun** (JoalL xv. 34), which bordered on the great pldn of Philistia; and several of the dties mentioned in immediato connection with it, and which are still represented by villages bearing the same name, enable us to place it in the neigh- bourhood of the valley of Elah. 2. Another dty of the same name was dtuatcd in the tribe of Issachar (Jo§h. xix. 21), and asngned to die Levites (Jo*h. xxi. 29). [G. W.] ENGEDI CATirdJhis, aU 'EyyadSl, al 'Hrpim, LXX.; 'EryoJ^, *E7>a5oi, 'EyyoJi, Joseph.; "Et- 7458a, Ptol. : Eth. 'Eyrifi^s), a dty in the wilder- ness of Judaea (Josh, xv. 62), giving its name to f desert tract on the west of the Dead Sea (1 Sam, xxiv. 2). Its more andent name was Hazeaon-tsmar', when it was inhabited by the Amorites. {Genu. xiv. 7 ; 2 ChrotL xx. 2.) It was celebrated m old times for its vineyards (Cant L 14), and Pliny reckons it second only to Jerusalem for ito fertility and palm- groves (v. 17). It is misplaced by St Jerome 4 the southern extremity of the Dead Sea {Comment m Ezek xlviL 10), and sUted by Josephus to be SOO stadia from Jerusalem (Jnt ix. 1. § 2). It gave its name to one of the fifteen toparchies of Jodaea iB, J. V. 3). It took its name — '* Fountain of the wild Goats " (stiU called 'ilm- Ju%)— from a copioi^
