Sarepta, a city of Phoenicia, on the coast of the
Mediterranean, is called Zarphand by the Arabian geographer
Sherif Ibn Idris, who places it twenty miles N. of Tyre, and
ten S. of Sidon; but its real distance from Tyre is about
fifteen miles, the whole distance from that city to Sidon
being only twenty-five miles. Maundrell states that the place
shown him for this city, called Sarphan, consisted of only a
few houses, on the tops of the mountains, within about half a
mile of the sea; between which there were ruins of
considerable extent.
