Matthew 15:39 Magada,n {C}

The best external evidence supports Magada,n, yet not only the site, but even the existence of such a place-name is uncertain. The parallel passage in Mark 8:10 has “the districts of Dalmanutha” (ta. me,rh Dalmanouqa,), an equally unknown site and name. The well-known Semitic word for tower, 23 in Greek Magdala,$n%, is read in many manuscripts in place of Magada,n or Dalmanouqa,. (See also the comment on Mk 8.10.)
