THE HARBOR OF SELEUCIA, SHOWING THE ANCIENT BREAKWATER, NOW 



BURIED IN SAND 



From this harbor Barnabas and Saul set sail on their missionary journeys. The city was 

 of great importance in the struggle between the Seleucids and the Ptolemies. It stood on 

 the rocks overlooking the sea, four miles north of the mouth of the Orontes.
