The country of the Ituraeans, an Arab people of the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountains, known to Greek and Roman writers as archers and as raiders. ⚠ Named once in the New Testament, in Luke's date: Philip was tetrarch 'of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis' (Luke 3:1). Josephus's lists of Philip's territories do not use the name, and how far Ituraean land reached into Philip's realm is not certain; the pin marks the Ituraean heartland in the Beqaa, not a boundary.
