Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
GER'GESA, and GER'GESENES. The "country of the Gergesenes," Matt 8:28 — probably the same as "Gadarenes," Mark 5:1; Luke 8:26 — was on the east side of the Sea of Galilee. The scene of the miracle was, according to Thomson, near modern Khersa, where the hills approach within 40 feet of the water. See Gadarenes.
