A: This is the area by the city of Gerasa, which lay about 35 miles southeast of the Sea of Galilee in the modern-day country of Jordan. The NIV Study Bible p.1501 mentions that one mile south of the modern village of Khersa is a steep hill 40 yards from shore.
J: Hili ni eneo lilikuwa karibu na mji wa Gerasa, ulikuwa karibu kilometa 56 (maili 35) kusini mashariki mwa Bahari ya Galilaya kwenye nchi ya sasa ya Yordani. Kilometa moja na nusu hivi (maili moja) kusini mwa kijiji cha sasa cha Khersa kuna kilima chenye mwinuko mkali wa meta 36 (yadi 40) toka ufukoni.
