        Caesarea Palaestinae, and Caesarea Palestinae are directly attested at Jerome, Book of Places 163. This passage was written ca. 390-420 CE possibly in Bethlehem.
      In his lexicon of place names in Hebrew Scripture, Jerome wrote
        concerning marshy Saron, named at Isaiah 33:9, that in his time there were
        two regions called Saronas, one between Caesarea and Joppa. The same information is recorded
        in the parallel passage at Eusebius, Dictionary of Place Names 162, written
        roughly one century before Jerome’s work.
      
        
        Saron, cuius et Esaias meminit dicens “in paludes versus est Saron.”
            usque in praesentem autem diem regio inter montem Thabor et stagnum Tiberiadis Saronas
            appellatur. sed et a Caesarea Palaestinae usque ad oppidum Ioppe
            omnis terra quae cernitur, dicitur Saronas.

        Saron, which Isaiah also mentioned, saying, “Saron turned into
            swamp.” Even up to the present day the region between Mount Thabor and Lake Tiberias is
            called Saronas. All the land seen from Caesarea Palestinae as far
            as the town Joppa is also called Saronas.Trans. J. L.
