Place description

Sogane in Galilee (identified with the modern Arab village of Sachnin) was located on an isolated hill in the western edge of the Sachnin valley, four kilometers (twenty furlongs) from Gabara (Life 265; cf. Life 44, 188; War 2.573)). Although the site has not been excavated, pottery of the Early Roman and other periods was collected in a survey. There is a monumental mausoleum with sarcophagus in the village, dated to the second or third century CE.
