Antipatris, or Antipatris

Smith’s Bible Dictionary · William Smith, F. N. Peloubet, M. A. Peloubet

(for his father), a town to which the soldiers conveyed St. Paul by night on their march. (Acts 23:31) Its ancient name was Capharsaba; and Herod, when he rebuilt the city, changed it to Antipatris, in honor of his father, Antipater. The village Kefr-Sabba still retains the ancient name of Antipatris.
