Judges 10:5

And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. A city of Gilead, as Josephus {u} calls it; Jerom {w}, under this word Camon, makes mention of a village in his times, called Cimana, in the large plain six miles from Legion to the north, as you go to Ptolemais; but, as Reland {x} observes, this seems not to be the same place, but rather this is the Camon Polybius {y} speaks of among other cities of Peraea, taken by Antiochus.


{u} Antiqu. l. 5. c. 7. sect. 6.
{w} De loc. Heb. fol. 90. B.
{x} Palestina Illustr. tom. 2. p. 679.
{y} Hist. l. 5.
