Arimathea or Arimathaea (Greek: Ἀριμαθέα) or Harimathaea or Harimathea (Ἁριμαθαία, Harimathaía) was a city of Judea.[1] It was the reported home of Joseph of Arimathea, who appears in all four Gospel accounts of the Passion for having donated his new tomb outside Jerusalem to receive the body of Jesus.
Armthem Seipha (Sofim). City of Elcana and Samuel. It is situated (in the region of Thamna) near Diospolis. The home of Joseph who was from Arimathea in the Gospels.
Scholars of the Onomasticon have identified the Greek Arimathea as deriving from the ancient Hebrew place name transliterated into Greek,[3] as the old Hebrew place name Ramathaim-Zophim (Hebrew: רמתיים-צופים) attested in the Hebrew Bible (in addition to 1 Maccabees 11:34) was rendered into Greek in the ancient Septuagint as Armathaim Sipha (Αρμαθαιμ Σιφα).[4]
Byzantine eraedit
The town of Arimathea or Armathema (‘Αρμαθεμη, Harmathemē) appears on the 6th-century Madaba Map. Casanowicz argues for its identification with Beit Rima, now Bani Zeid in the West Bank.[5]
Crusader periodedit
The Crusaders seem to have identified Ramla with both Ramathaim and Arimathea. Ramla was a medieval town founded around 705–715 by the Umayyads, and located on land in what had once been the allotment of Dan.[6]
