Dict: easton - Dor

easton:

Dor @ dwelling, the Dora of the Romans, an ancient royal city of the Canaanites kjv@Joshua:11:1-2 kjv@Joshua:12:23). It was the most southern settlement of the Phoenicians on the coast of Syria. The original inhabitants seem never to have been expelled, although they were made tributary by David. It was one of Solomon's commissariat districts kjv@Judges:1:27; kjvKings:4:11). It has been identified with Tantura (so named from the supposed resemblance of its tower to a tantur, i.e., "a horn"). This tower fell in 1895, and nothing remains but debris and foundation walls, the remains of an old Crusading fortress. It is about 8 miles north of Caesarea, "a sad and sickly hamlet of wretched huts on a naked sea-beach."

Dorcas @ a female antelope, or gazelle, a pious Christian widow at Joppa whom Peter restored to life kjv@Acts:9:36-41). She was a Hellenistic Jewess, called Tabitha by the Jews and Dorcas by the Greeks.
