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
