Dalmanutha
A place on the west of the Sea of Galilee, mentioned only in Mark 8:10. In the parallel passage it is said that Christ came “into the borders of Magdala” (Matt. 15:39). It is plain, then, that Dalmanutha was near Magdala, which was probably the Greek name of one of the many Migdols (i.e., watch-towers) on the western side of the lake of Gennesaret. It has been identified in the ruins of a village about a mile from Magdala, in the little open valley of ‘Ain-el-Barideh, “the cold fountain,” called el-Mejdel, possibly the “Migdal-el” of Josh. 19:38.
Also from Smith's (1884) +−
a town on the west side of the Sea of Galilee, near Magdala. (Matthew 15:39) and Mark 8:10 [Magdala] Dalmnnutha probably stood at the place called ’Ain-el-Barideh, “the cold fountain.”
