Ptolemais or Akko


Akko is located in western Galilee of northern Israel. It is near the modern-day city of Haifa. In Judges 1:31, this was listed as belonging to the tribe of Asher. Josephus calls it Akre. The na;me was changed to Antiochia Ptolemais shortly after Alexander the Great's conquest, and then to Ptolemais.
