Caspin — Tyndale Open Bible Dictionary

A town east of the Jordan River, probably the same place as Chaspho (1 Macc 5:26, 36 OET MA1 5:26 · OET MA1 5:36), although ancient and modern authorities differ on the precise location. The historian Josephus identifies Caspin (2 Macc 12:13) with Maked. In 1 Maccabees 5:24-36, Judas and Jonathan Maccabeus marched into Transjordan. There Judas “took Chaspho, Maked, and Bosor, and the other cities of Gilead” (v 36, rsv).
