Byblos
Phoenicia
Byblos, modern Jbeil on the coast of Lebanon, was one of the oldest continuously inhabited Phoenician cities. It was the home of Philo of Byblos, a Greek-writing author of the late first/early second century AD best known for a Phoenician History purporting to draw on the older writer Sanchuniathon.
