we are probably justified in inferring that some calamity depopu- 

 lated Dor sometime after the middle of the fourth century. Later, 

 however, the city must have been reestablished, for we read of 

 bishops of Dor in the following centuries. 



TABULA PEUTINGERIANA. 



Dor appears on the Tabula Peutingeriana^ under the form 

 Thora". The distance from Thora to Cesaria is indicated as VIII 

 miles, from Thora to Ptolomaide as XX miles. The former of 

 these distances is approximately correct, the latter not large

 Empire is named after the Augsburg recorder, Konrad Peutinger, 

 who obtained it in 1508 from its discoverer. This particular copy 

 was made in the 13th century; the original in its present form 

 goes back probably to the fourth century A.D.*.

Stephan of Byzantium*, the author of a geographical dictionary 

 called '' Ethnica," is supposed to have lived in the fifth century".

 on Atopo5, TToAts ^oivUrj^ ("Dor, a city of Phoenicia"). The chapter 

 mainly consists (in addition to a discussion of the ethnic of the 

 town's name) of quotations from Greek writers. These quotations 

 have been- fully treated above', so that there is no need for their 

 further discussion here.

 he cites valuable bits of information regarding Dor, he leaves us 

 in the dark concerning the Dor of his own day. Like most ancient 

 writers he is not consistently critical in his methods, and his testi-
