This interesting little article, created on the 12 November, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. Acceptable use of primary sources here, but Renan 1864, p. 149 otherwise verifies that Pliny and Strabo mention the settlement. Aliquot says the town is probably in the foothills of Mount Lebanon. So hook is cited. The hook is interesting and short enough. QPQ done. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 18:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
