Oenomaus, a native of Gadara (stood on a hill 378 metres above sea level overlooking the Yarmouk River gorge), is listed in the Chronicle of Jerome as flourishing in the 224th Olympiad.
Oenomaus was a native of Gadara, which was then a partially Hellenized community in northern Jordan. It stood on a hill 378 metres (1,240 ft) above sea level overlooking the Yarmouk River gorge, with the Golan Heights and the Sea of Galilee well visible to the north and northwest. He is listed in the Chronicle of Jerome as flourishing in the 224th Olympiad (117 to 121 AD): "Plutarch of Chaeronea, Sextus, Agathobulus and Oenomaus are considered notable philosophers."
