Modin:
a place not mentioned in either the Old or the New Testament, though rendered immortal by its connection with the history of the Jews in the interval between the two. It was the native city of the Maccabaean family (1 Maccabees 13:25) and as a necessary consequence contained their ancestral sepulchre (chapter 2:70; 9:19; 13:25‐30). At Modin the Maccabean armies encamped on the eves of two of their most memorable victories-that of Judas over Antiochus Eupator (2 Maccabees 13:14) and that of Simon over Cendebeus (1 Maccabees 16:4). The only indication of the position of the place to be gathered from the above notices is contained in the last, from which we may infer that it was near "the plain," i.e. the great maritime lowland of Philistia (1 Maccabees 16:5). The description of the monuments seems to imply that the spot was so lofty as to be visible from the sea, and so near that even the details of the sculpture were discernible therefrom. All these conditions, excepting the last, are tolerably fulfilled in either of the two sides called Latran and Kubub.
