CARIA

Region in southwest Asia Minor. When Simon was high priest at Jerusalem, Lucius, the Roman consul, sent a letter to King Ptolemy (reigned 145–116 BC) concerning friendly relations between Rome and Simon. Along with other Greek states, Caria is listed as a recipient of the letter (1 Macc 15:23). In his letter Lucius instructed that any miscreants fleeing from Israel to districts of Asia Minor be returned to Simon to be punished according to Jewish law (v 21).
