Argob (II)

II. ARGOB, the capital City of the region of Argob, whereof we have been speaking. Eusebius1 says, that in his time Argob was a place fifteen miles distant from Gerasa, westward. It is probably the same as Ragab or Ragaba mentioned in the Mishna2 and Josephus3. The Samaritan Translation instead of Argob, generally puts Rigoba.
