Theodoret (in
Jeremiah 46,) expressly affirms that Riblah or Reblatha was in his time called Emesa. [Koma de estin a Reblatha tas nun kaloumenas Emesas.] Emesa was a city of Syria, situated on the Orontes, and, according to the Antonine Itinerary,
18 miles from Laodicea ad Libanum. It is now called Homs, or Hems, about eight hours, or twenty-four miles S.E. of Hamah or Hamath, in the road to Damascus. The present town only occupies about one quarter of the space contained within the ancient walls, which apparently date from the time of the Saracens. Here is nothing remarkable, except a Roman sepulchre, and a large castle in ruins.
