* A.M. cir. 2135.  B.C. cir. 1869.  Bozrah.
   Bozrah, Bezer, or Bostra, was situated in Arabia Deserta, and
   the eastern part of Edom; and, according to Eusebius, was 24
   miles from Edrei.  It afterwards belonged to Moab, and was
   given by Moses to Reuben, but again reverted to Edom.  It is
   now called Boszra; and is described by Burckhardt as the
   largest town in the Haouran, including its ruins, though only
   inhabited by about twelve or fifteen families.  It is situated
   in the open plain, two hours distant from Aare, and is at
   present the last inhabited place in the south-east extremity
   of the Haouran.  It is of an oval shape, it greatest length
   being from east to west; and its circumference three quarters
   of an hour.
