Ocina
VIEW:31 DATA:01-04-2020
OCINA.Taking the towns mentioned in order as fearing the advance of Holofernes (Jdt_2:28), Sidon and Tyre are well known. With some certainty Sur may be identified with Umm el-Amûd, S. of Iskanderûna, which seems to have been formerly called Turân. The next step takes us naturally to Acre, in later times known as Accon, in which we may find an echo of the earlier Ocina.

ṓ-sı̄?na, os?i-na, ok?i-na (Ὀκεινά, Okeiná): A town on the Phoenician coast South of Tyre, mentioned only in Judith 2:28, in the account of the campaign of Holofernes in Syria. The site is unknown, but from the mention of Sidon and Tyre immediately preceding and Jemnaan, Azotus and Ascalon following, it must have been South of Tyre. One might conjecture that it was Sandalium (Iskanderuna) or Umm ul-'Awamı̄d, but there is nothing in the name to suggest such an identification.

Ocina
[most Oc'inza] (Ο᾿κεινά v. r. Ο᾿κινά), a city on the sea-coast of Phoenicia or Palestine, only mentioned in connection with Sur (q.v.), in the apocryphal book of Judith (2:28), as being terrified at the approach of Holofernes. The names seem to occur in a regular order from north to south; and as Ocina is mentioned between Tyre and Jemnaan:(Jabneh),its position agrees with that of the ancient ACCHO, now Akka, and in mediaeval times sometimes called Acon (Brocardus; William of Tyre, etc.) (Smith). The name may thus be a corruption of Α᾿κωνά ( עָכֹן). On an unfortunate conjecture in Gesenius, see Movers, in the Zeitschrf. Philosophie u. Kath. Theologie, 13:38.
