Histoire
Bethmaus, or Beth Maʿon, also called Maon, was a Jewish village during the Late Second Temple and Mishnaic periods, tentatively identified with the site of Nasir ad-Din by Guérin (1875) and with Tell Maʿūn slightly west of it by Kitchener (1881). Ishtori Haparchi had situated it in 1322 upon the hill directly north-west of the city of Tiberias, at a distance of one biblical mile, rising to an elevation of 250 metres (820 ft) above sea-level. It is now incorporated within the modern city bounds of Upper Tiberias. The remaining historical structure at the site is a sheikh's tomb.
