* Ono.

* Lod.
Lod, or Lydda, was situated about four leagues from Joppa, and
a day's journey, or about thirty-two miles N. W. from
Jerusalem; and, according to the Antonine Itinerary, twelve
miles from Jamnia, eighteen from Eleutheropolis, and twenty
two from Bethar. Josephus says it was a village, not yielding
to a city in greatness; and that it was one of three
toparchies dismembered from Samaria, and given to the Jews.
It was destroyed by Cesitus in the Jewish war, and, when
rebuilt, was called Diospolis. It is now called Loudd, and is
a poor village, situated in a fine plain about a league to the
E. N. E. of Ramia.
