Cesaream

, and

Caesarea

are directly attested at Dietrich, The Holy Places 1538-1541. This passage was written ca. 1170-1173 C.E. possibly in Palestine. Dietrich (Theodericus) was a German priest of the 12th century who travelled to the Holy Land under the Kingdom of Jerusalem. His account survives in only two manuscripts of the 15th century that derive from a common ancestor. In this passage, Dietrich describes major roads in his itinerary.

Hec ergo via, que ab Achon per Nazareth et Samariam atque Neapolim Ierosolimam ducit, superior vocatur, et illa que per Cesaream et Liddam ab Achon Ierosolimam tendit Maritima appellatur.

[Ed. Huygens 1994] [Österreichische Staatsbibliothek, Vienna 3529; Bell Library, University of Minnesota 1424/Co] [Minor corr. (punctuation)]

Now this road which leads from Accon through Nazareth, Samaria, and Neapolis to Jerusalem is called the High Road; and that which leads from Achon through Caesarea and Lidda to Jerusalem is called the Coastal Road.
