And straightway he entered into a ship, with his disciples, etc..] As soon as ever he had, dismissed the multitude, he took shipping with his disciples; for he was at the sea of Galilee, either at a place near it, or upon the shore of it; (see <410731>Mark 7:31); and came into the parts of Dalmanutha; which Matthew calls, “the coasts of Magdala”; (see Gill on “<401539>Matthew 15:39”). The Arabic version reads it, “Magdal”; and in two of Beza's copies it is read, “Madegada”; but the Syriac version reads, “Dalmanutha”; and the Persic, “Dalmanuth”; and the Ethiopic, “Dalmathy”: it was a city in the coasts of Magdala, and is thought by Dr. Lightfoot to be the same with Tzalmon, or Salmon, a place often mentioned f175 in the Jewish writings.
