Ruins of Byzantine church in Archelais, Palestine (2006)

Archelaïs (Шаблон:Lang-grc)[1] was a town in the Roman province of Palaestina Prima, corresponding to modern Khirbet el-Beiyudat (also spelled Khirbat al-Bayudat). It was founded by Herod the Great's son Archelaus[2] to house workers for his date plantation in the Jericho area.[3] It is represented on the Madaba mosaic map with a towered entrance flanked by two other towers.[4]

History

In Christian times, the town became a bishopric. The names of two of its bishops: Timotheus, who took part in two anti-Eutyches synods held in Constantinople in 448 and 449, and Antiochus, who was at the Council of Chalcedon in 451.[5][6]

No longer a residential bishopric, Archelaïs is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[7]

Inscriptions on the floor of a church discovered among the ruins of the town indicate that it was paved with Byzantine mosaics during the 560s.[8][9]

Current destruction

The archaeological site (31°57′58″N 35°28′18″E), standing at the northern outskirts of the Palestinian West Bank town of al-Auja at Khirbet el-Beiyudat, is gradually being covered by modern construction and devastated by treasure hunters.[10][11]
