Abstract: Harrington, Daniel J. in: NTAb 42.3 (1998), 531: "Several passages in Josephus' writings indicate that Essa was a variant name for Gerasa. This fact suggests that the Essaioi/Essenoi were people from Essa/Gerasa. The identification has important implications for the history of the Qumran community, especially its asylum at Essa/Gerasa and the new foundation of an Essene settlement at Khirbet Qumran".
