Eusebius of Caesarea, Dictionary of Place Names 108
https://caesarea-maritima.org/testimonia/257
Context
In his lexicon of place names in Hebrew Scripture, Eusebius wrote that
Iapheth, named at Joshua 19:12, was in his time a coastal village called
Ioppe, Sykaminos, or Efa (Haifa) on the road from Caesarea to Ptolemaïs (Akko). The same
information is recorded in the parallel passage at Jerome, Book of Places
109, written roughly one century after Eusebius’ work.

Καισαρείας, κώμη πάραλος πλησίον τοῦ Καρμήλου, Ἡφὰ
λέγεται.
