WHAT DOES COELESYRIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Coelesyria

Coele-Syria

Coele-Syria, or Cœle-Syria, Koile Syria or Celesyria, was a Hellenistic term for a region of Syria. It is widely accepted that the term Coele is a transcription of Aramaic kul, meaning "all, the entire", such that the term originally identified all of Syria. The word "Coele", which literally means "hollow" in Koine Greek, is thought to have come about via a folk etymology referring to the "hollow" Beqaa Valley between Mount Lebanon and the Anti-Lebanon mountains. The term was commonly used in this wider sense to indicate "all Syria" or "all Syria except Phoenicia", by writers including Diodorus Siculus, who indicated Coele-Syria to stretch as far south as Joppa, as well as Polybius, Pliny, Arrian and Ptolemy. The first and only official use of the term was during the period of Seleucid rule of the region, between c. 200 BC and 64 BC. During this period, the term "Coele Syria and Phoenicia" or "Coele Syria" was also used in a narrower sense to refer the former Ptolemaic territory which the Seleucids controlled, being the area south of the river Eleutherus. This usage was adopted by Strabo and the Books of the Maccabees.
