Jabruda

Jabruda (ἵαβρουδά), a city of Palestine mentioned by Ptolemy (5, 15), 'and as an' episcopal city by St. Paulo (Geogr. Sacr. p. 294); now Yebord, a village, but still the seat of a bishop; rather more than an hour to the west of the great caravan road from Damascus to Homs, nearly midway between these two cities (Porter, Damnuscus, 1, 360). — Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 323; Robinson, Later Researches; p. 556.
