Daroma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daroma (Aramaic) or Darom (Hebrew), both meaning 'South',[1][2][3] was the name of the southern Hebron Hills in the Late Roman and Byzantine periods.[2][3] The term is used in Eusebius's Onomasticon (4th century) and in rabbinic literature.[2][3] For Eusebius, it is the southern part of the territory of Eleutheropolis (Beth Guvrin), an important city in that period.[1] By the late tenth century, the Arab geographer al-Muqaddasi ('the Jerusalemite') was still referring to part of the region of Beth Guvrin by this name.[1]
