II. APOLLONIA, a City of Palestine, situated pretty near the Sea, between Joppa and Cæsarea, almost at an equal distance. Josephus, Pliny, and Ptolemy speak of it. The Peutingerian tables place it at an equal distance between Joppa and Cæsarea. Some very improperly confound it with Antipatris. Josephus, Antiq. l. xiii. c. 23. speaks of Antipatris and Apollonia as of two different places. There is no mention of it in the Scripture.
