B. , 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 F24 Palestina Illustr. tom. 2. p. 679. observes, this seems not to be the same place, but rather this is the Camon Polybius F25 Hist. l. 5. speaks of among other cities of Peraea, taken by Antiochus.
