Daraa, Dara, Daraa Dera, is a city in southwestern Syria close to borders with Jordan, Lebanon and Israel. It is the capital of the Governorate of Deraa.

History

Deraa is one of the most ancient cities of Syria, since it was founded under the Canaanites and is mentioned - under the name of Atharaa - in Egyptian hieroglyphic tablets at the time of the Pharaoh Thutmose III between 1490 and 1436 BC The Hebrews then mention it in the book of Numbers under the name of Edrei or Edre'i1, capital of Bachân and site of a victory of the Israelites against the king of the city, Og2.

Under the Seleucid Empire, of which the city was a part, and under the Roman Empire, to which it was incorporated by Trajan in 106, it was called Adraa name found on its coins4,5. Adraa was part of Arabia Petræa province6. In the third century AD, Adraa achieved the status of polis (largely autonomous city). Eusebius of Caesarea mentions it as a famous Arab polis7. According to Epiphanes of Salamis, the area beyond Adraa was inhabited by Ebionites8,9,10.

Adraa was the seat of a bishopric. Arabius, the first bishop of Adraa whose name we know, participated in the Council of Seleucia in 359. Bishop Uranius was at the First Council of Constantinople in 381; Proclaimed at the anti-Eutyches synod of Constantinople in 448 and the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Dorimenius attended the Second Council of Constantinople in 553. Adraa is no longer an episcopal see today; the Catholic Church put it on the list of seats in partibus, or titular seats13. It was at the time of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) a focus of Christian missionary activities towards the desert of Syria. In 614, the Sassanian army sacked Adraa, but spared the inhabitants
