BECTILET. See Judith ii. 21. in the Greek. It is said that Holofernes departing from Nineveh, after three days march arrived with his Army at Bectilet, and incamped near the mountain, which is to the left of Cilicia. We take Bectilet to be the country of Bagdania, to the left or North of Mount Argeé, in the Vulgate called Mount Ange.
