Sa’lim (peace), a place named John 3:23 to denote the situation of Ænon, the scene of St. John’s last baptisms; Salim being the well-known town, and Ænon a place of fountains or other waters near it. [Salem.] The name of Salim has been discovered by Mr. Van de Velde in a position exactly in accordance with the notice of Eusebius, viz., six English miles south of Beisân (Scythopolis), and two miles west of the Jordan. Near here is an abundant supply of water.
