For archaeologists specialising in the Levant, the Onomasticon of Eusebius of Caesarea (c.260–339) has long been considered to be one of the most useful works extant from antiquity. Armed with Eusebius' localisations of descriptions of Biblical sites, scholars have been able to identify ruins, or determine fruitful places for excavation, and argue about correct or incorrect sitings. . . . [H]is work is more than a list of the sites and cities and towns mentioned in Scripture, since it includes rivers, hills, wadis and other geographical features.
