I. ENOCH, the son of Cain. The first City taken notice of in Scripture, derived its name from his. Cain called it Enoch, or Enochia: he built it in honour of his eldest son. It was situated to the east of the province of Eden. It is perhaps Hanuchta, which Ptolemy places in the Susiana. The spurious Berosus, and Adrichomius after him, place the city Enochia, built by Cain, to the east of Libanus, towards Damascus.
