Legio in Eusebius. However, Eusebius does mention a site called Legio (Λεγεω, Legeō) as a geographical landmark when identifying the location of nine sites in the Jezreel Valley and lower Galilee (Klostermann, Eusebius), which indicates that Legio was a well-known location at the time. Legio, also called Legionis, was originally a Jewish village called Kefar ‘Othnay, which the Talmud describes as being on the southern fringe of Galilee (b. Gittin 76a; m. Gittin 7:7). Kefar ‘Othnay was called Caparcotani in Latin sources and Kaparkotnei in Greek (for Latin source, see the Tabula Peutingeriana, X, 1–2; for Greek, see Ptolemy, Geographia 5:15.4). It came to be known as Legio because of its function as a garrison for the Roman military division Legio VI Ferrata, the “Sixth Ironclad Legion,” in the second century ad (Cassius Dio, Historia 55:23.3). A city grew up around the military camp and probably became known temporarily as Maximianopolis in the Byzantine period (ad 324–638), evidently sometime after Eusebius completed the Onomasticon (Cline, Battles of Armageddon, 114–15).
