What it is
An alphabetical gazetteer of biblical places, giving each one's location in the fourth-century landscape and whether the village was still standing.
Why it lasted
The first work of biblical geography and still a primary source for the historical topography of Palestine.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
