(ἡ Βασκαμά, Josephus Βασκά ), a place in Gilead where Jonathan Maccabaeus was killed by Trypho, and from which his bones were afterward disinterred and conveyed to Modin by his brother Simon (1 Maccabees 13:23; Joseph. Ant. 13:6, 6). Schwarz supposes it to be the Talmudical Bashkar (בִּשְׁכָּר ) or Basgar (בִּסְגָּר ) "of Arabia" (Palest. p. 236, 237). The route of the Syrian murderer is given with so much confusion (see Fritzsche, in loc.) that some have even supposed the Bozkath of Judah to be meant.
