Wikipedia. Archela�s was a town in the Roman province
of Palaestina Prima, corresponding to modern Khirbet el-Beiyudat also known as
Khirbet al-Bayudat. It was founded by Herod the Great's son Archelaus to house
workers for his date plantation in the Jericho area. It is represented on the
Madaba mosaic map with a towered entrance flanked by two other towers.
In Christian times, the town became a bishopric. The names of two of its
bishops: Timotheus, who took part in two anti-Eutyches synods held in
Constantinople in 448 and 449, and Antiochus, who was at the Council of
Chalcedon in 451. No longer a residential bishopric, Archela�s is today listed
by the Catholic Church as a titular see. Inscriptions on the floor of a church
discovered among the ruins of the town indicate that it was paved with Byzantine
mosaics during the 560s.
