Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

חֶלְבּוֹן (“fat,” i.e. fertile), [Helbon], pr.n. of a city of Syria, fruitful in good wine, Ezekiel 27:18 Gr. Χαλυβών; as to the excellent wine of this place, formerly brought to the kings of Persia, see Strabo xv. page 1068 (al. 735). This city, which was very celebrated in the middle ages (see Freytag, Hist. Halebi), is called in Arabic حَلَبُ, and now bears the name of Aleppo, see Bochart, Hieroz. i. 543; Abulfeda, Syria, page 118; Golius ad Alferganum, page 270, seq.;-J. D. Michaëlis (Supplem. page 748, seq.) conjectures that the city Kennesrin is meant (which some call Old Aleppo), but there is no need of this.
