SIRBON. The Lake Sirbon, known by the antient Geographers, was between Palestine and Egypt, upon the Coast of the Mediterranean Sea, not far from Mount Casius. It had a Communication with the Mediterranean Sea, by a small Arm. Sometimes it is adjudged to belong to Egypt, and sometimes to Judea, because it lay between both Countries. There are some that think, that this Lake is now dry’d up, or fill’d with Sand. The Scripture no where mentions it, that we know of.
