A.M. 3289. B.C. 715. burden. Tyre, whose destruction by Nebuchadnezzar is here foretold, was a city of Phoenicia, on the shore of the Mediterranean, twenty-four miles south of Sidon, and thirty-two north of Accho or Ptolemais, according to the Antonine and Jerusalem Itineraries, about lat. 33; degrees 18' N. long. 35; degrees 10' E. There were two cities of this name; one on the continent called Pal� Tyrus, or Old Tyre, according to Strabo, thirty stadia south of the other, which was situated on an island, not above 700; paces from the main land, says Pliny. Old Tyre was taken by Nebuchadnezzar, after a siege of thirteen years, B.C. 573, which he so utterly destroyed, that it never afterwards rose higher than a village. But previous to this, the inhabitants had removed their effects to the island which afterwards became so famous by the name of Tyre, though now consisting only of about 800; dwellings.
