	Geography of Phoenicia Canaan
		Berytus, on the other hand, became the seat of the most famous provincial school of Roman law.
		The antiquity of Berytus is indicated by its name, derived from the Canaanite name of Be`erot (Wells), referring to the underground water table that is still tapped by the local inhabitants for general use.
		Berytus was conquered by the military forces of the First Crusade and was organized, along with its coastal suburbs, as a fief of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem.

	Beirut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The city was known in antiquity as Berytus (see also List of traditional Greek place names); this name was taken in 1934 for the archaeological journal published by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the American University of Beirut.
		In 140 BC, the city was taken and destroyed by Diodotus Tryphon in his contest with Antiochus VII Sidetes for the throne of the Seleucid monarchy.
		Mid-first century BC coins of Berytus bear the head of Tyche, goddess of fortune; on the reverse, the city's symbol appears: a dolphin entwines an anchor.

		Just as all places of the name of "Beeroth" are to-day called in Arabic "El-Bîreh," so Berytus bore (according to S. Krauss) in Talmudic times the name "Beri" or "Biri"; this is clear from a passage in Yalḳuṭ (Num.
		In any case the city lay within the jurisdiction of the Jews, for the Sibylline Books (vii.) also mention Berytus, and Jews, of course, were living there.
		It is impossible to tell at what time the Jews commenced to live at Beirut, as very little is known about the city in Phenician and Seleucid times.

		Bits of data from Berytus and the neighboring cities, especially Tyre, were fit together to produce a picture of life in the city from the time of Augustus to Justinian.
		To reconstruct the self-identity of the inhabitants of Berytus, three types of questions were asked of the evidence.
		The setting of the city and the self-view of the residents shaped the role of Berytus as an "outpost of empire" and thereby influenced the attitudes of the compilers of legal codes in the East and the West.

	Beritus (Berytus) Nutris Legum (Beirut Mother of Law), Roman School of Law
		Pleaders were forced to study either at Berytus, or at Rome, or at Constantinople, and, the honours and emoluments of the profession being large, the supply of students was abundant and perpetual.
		External misfortune, and not internal decay, at last destroyed the school, the town of Berytus being completely demolished by an earthquake in the year A.D. The school was then transferred to Sidon, but appears to have languished on its transplantation to a new soil and never to have recovered its pristine vigour or vitality.
		The little work of Gaius, most of which we now possess under the title of Commentarii institutionum, had served this purpose for nearly four centuries; but much of it had, owing to changes in the law, become inapplicable, so that a new manual seemed to be required.

		Hardouin.) About the same time Photius had a contest with Enstathius, bishop of Be-rytus, who had obtained an edict of the emperor Theodosius IL, erecting Berytus into a metropolitan see, as to the extent of their respective jurisdictions.
		Tillemont judges that the dignity accorded to the see of Berytus, was designed to be merely titular, and that the struggle was occasioned by the attempt of Eustathius to assume metropolitan jurisdiction over some bishoprics previously under the jurisdiction of Tyre.
		In this attempt, being supported by the patriarchs, Anatolius of Constantinople, and Maximus of Antioch, he effected his purpose : and Photius, after a struggle, was constrained, not so much by an excommunication which was speedily recalled, as by a threat of deposition, to submit.

		That emperor speaks of Berytus as "the mother and nurse" of the civil law.
		Roman law, I maintain, therefore, indirectly owes its origin, as it is directly indebted for its completion in the Pandects, to the new powers and processes of thought which came from "the Light of the World." It was light from Galilee and Golgotha, answering Pilate's question in the inward convictions of many a heathen sage.
		If he was a native of Berytus, as seems probable, that accounts for the rise of the school of laws at a place comparatively inconsiderable.

		Eusebius also calls Sanchuniathon a native of Berytus, but he says that his Phoenician history was divided into nine (not eight) books by Philon.
		This is all the independent testimony we possess respecting Sanchuniathon and the Greek translation by Philon, for it is pretty clear that subsequent writers who speak of both borrow their accounts either from Porphyrius or Eusebius.
		This writer he says was a native of Berytus, lived in the time of Semiramis, and dedicated his work to Abibalus, king of Berytus.

		Berytus was famous for its law school, which was founded by the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus in 200 A.D, and was the first school of Roman Law in the eastern Empire.
