Ituraea = "past the limits" or "he will arrange"
 1) a mountainous region, lying northeast of Palestine and west of
    Damascus. At the time when John the Baptist made his public
    appearance it was subject to Philip the tetrarch, son of Herod the
    Great, among the regions assigned to this prince after his
    father's death. It was brought under Jewish control by king
    Aristobulus around 100 B.C. Its inhabitants had been noted for
    robbery and skilful use of the bow.
