سوريا الخاوية (باليونانية قديمة: Κοίλη Συρία؛ إنگليزية: Coele-Syria) كانت المنطقة من سوريا الجنوبيةالمتنازع عليها بين السلوقيين والبطالمة. وبدلاً من قصر التعبير اليوناني على سهل البقاع في لبنان، فعادة ما يـُستخدَم التعبير ليغطي كامل المنطقة جنوب النهر الكبير Eleutherus بما فيها فلسطين. وفي الواقع فإن ديودوروس الصقلي يشير إلى أن سوريا الخاوية تضم أيضاً السواحل الفلسطينية حتى جوپا Joppa جنوباً. التعبير الهليني Koile Syria الذي ظهر لأول مرة في كتاب أريان Anabasis (2.13.7) ونوقش على نطاق واسع ، يبدو أنه ببساطة تحريف للكلمة الآرامية كل، أي جميع"، مما يعني أن التعبير يشير إلى كل سوريا، وهو ما يؤيده النطاق الواسع للمعاني المقترحة. [1]

جنرال الإسكندر الأكبر بطليموس احتل لأول مرة سوريا الخاوية في 318 ق.م.. وعندما انضم بطليموس إلى التحالف ضد أنتيگون الأول الأعور في 313 ق.م. فإنه سارع بالانسحاب من سوريا الخاوية. وفي 312 انتصر سلوقس الأول نيكاتور على دمتريوس، ابن أنتيگونوس، في معركة غزة التي أتاحت لبطليموس مرة أخرى أن يحتل سوريا الخاوية.

حسب پولي‌بيوس، فإن ضابطاً سابقاً في الامبراطورية الپطلمية اسمه پطليموس تراقيا، بعد أن قاتل في عام 217 ق.م. معركة رفح، فر إلى صف الملك السلوقي أنطيوخوس الثالث الأكبر. وقد أنعم أنطيوخوس عليه بلقب "ستراتيگوس و أرخيريوس سوريا الخاوية وفينيقيا". ويخمن بعض الدارسين أن ذلك اللقب ربما كان يستخدمه البطالمة قبل ذلك، إلا أنه لا يوجد دليل مباشر لدعم ذلك.[2]


الحروب السورية

مقال رئيسي: الحروب السورية
خريطة سوريا القديمة

المنطقة كانت موضع نزاع بين الأسرة السلوقية والأسرة الپطلمية أثناء الحروب السورية. فقد كان جنرال الإسكندر الأكبر، پطليموس هو أول من احتل سوريا الخاوية في 318 ق.م. إلا أنه حين انضم پطليموس للتحالف ضد أنتيگون الأول الأعور في 313 ق.م.، فإنه سرعان ما انسحب من سوريا الخاوية. وفي 312 ق.م. انتصر سلوقس الأول نيكاتور على دمتريوس، ابن أنتيگون، في معركة غزة مما سمح لپطليموس مرة أخرى أن يحتل سوريا الخاوية. إلا أنه انسحب مرة أخرى بعد بضعة أشهر، بعد أن انتصر دمتريوس في معركة على ذلك الجنرال ودخل أنتيگون سوريا عنوة حتى أنتيگونوسس، هذا النصر الوجيز مكـّن سلوقس من الهجوم السريع على بلاد بابل. وفي 302 ق.م.، انضم بطليموس إلى حلف جديد ضد أنتيگون وعاود احتلال سوريا الخاوية، ولكنه سرعان ما انسحب حين سمع تقريراً مكذوباً أن أنتيگون انتصر. ثم عاد حين انهزم أنتيگون في إپسوس في 301 ق.م. وكانت سوريا الخاوية من نصيب سلوقس، حسب قسمة المنتصرين في إبسوس، إذ لم يسهم بطليموس في النصر. ولكن بحكم تاريخ بطليموس السابق، فلم يُتوقع منه أن يقيم دفاعاً مستحكماً لسوريا الخاوية، ورضخ سلوقس لاحتلال بطليموس، ربما لأن سلوقس تذكر مساعدة بطليموس له في استعادة حكمه في بلاد بابل.

السلوقيون اللاحقون لم يكونوا بنفس القدر من التفهم، مما أسفر عن قرن الحروب السورية بين الپطالمة والسلوقيين. معركة پانيوم في 200 ق.م.، أثناء الحرب السورية الخامسة، كانت المعركة الحاسمة النهائية بين الجانبين في إنهاء سيطرة البطالمة على المنطقة. نزاعات الفترة 171-168 ق.م. على سوريا الخاوية، بين أنطيوخس الرابع المتجلي و پطليموس السادس فيلوماتور، هي محل نقاش في كتاب ليفي تاريخ روما منذ تأسيسها (في XLII. 29 and XLV. 11–12).

السيطرة السلوقية على منطقة يهودا بدأت في الانكماش باندلاع الثورة المكابية في 165 ق.م. مع انشغال القوات السلوقية في القتال على الجبهة الپارثية، فقد نجحت يهودا في تأمين استقلالها بحلول عام 140 ق.م. وبالرغم من محاولات الحكام السلوقيين لاستعادة الأراضي، فإن فتوحات پومپي في 64 ق.م. كانت ضربة حاسمة لتلك المحاولات، وأصبحت سوريا جزءاً من الجمهورية الرومانية.

سوريا العليا

مقال رئيسي: تتراپوليس سوريا

تحت الملوك المقدونيين، كانت سوريا العليا (Syria Superior) مقسمة إلى أربع محافظات (tetrarchies) مسماة بأسماء عواصمها. Later in the Roman Pompeian era, the province was divided into nine districts.[3]

مسميات سوريا

بالحكم من أريان و The Anabasis of Alexander، مؤرخي الإسكندر الأكبر، as well as more ancient authors,[4] gave the name of Syria to all the country comprehended between the Tigris and the Mediterranean. The part to the east of the Euphrates, afterwards named Mesopotamia was called "Syria between the rivers;" that to the west was called by the general name Coele-Syria, and although Phoenicia and Palestine were sometimes separated from it. Yet, it was often comprehended as the whole country as far as Egypt.[5][6]

في حروب الديادوخي، Coele-Syria came under the control of أنتيگون الأول الأعور. Then in 301 ق.م.، Ptolemy I Soter exploited events surrounding the Battle of Ipsus to take control of the region. The victors at Ipsus finalized the breakup of Alexander's empire. Coele-Syria was allocated to Ptolemy's former ally Seleucus I Nicator, who—having been previously aided by Ptolemy—took no military action to gain control of the region. Their successors, however, became embroiled in a series of conflicts over this issue.[10]

Ptolemy, marching on Pelusium, made his first halt at that city, and after picking up stragglers and serving out rations to his men moved on marching through the desert and skirting Mount Casius and the marshes called Barathra. Reaching the spot he was bound for on the fifth day he encamped at a distance of fifty stades from Raphia, (رفح الحالية على الحدود المصرية الفلسطينية، شمال Rhinocolara (العريش)) which is the first city of Coele-Syria on the Egyptian side after Rhinocolura.[12][13]

Having spoken of the three boundaries of Egypt, by which it is distinguished from the rest of the continent, we now proceed to the next. The fourth side is nearly surrounded with a vast sea, without any harbours, being a very long and tedious voyage, and very difficult to find any place of landing. For from Parcetonium in Africa, to Joppa in Cœlo-Syria, for the space almost of five thousand furlongs, there is not one safe harbour to be found, except Pharus.[17]
  • حوالي 25 ق.م. Livy in his written work, The History of Rome ;

    Antiochus was so incensed, ...He at once sent his fleet to Cyprus, and in the first days of spring set his army in motion for Egypt and advanced into Coelo-Syria. When near Rhinocolura he was met by envoys from Ptolemy, who ...begged him to say clearly what he wanted rather than to attack Ptolemy as an enemy—by force of arms—after previously being his friend.[18][19][20]

سوريا الخاوية

Authors of the Roman period differ on the limits of Coele-Syria, some extending and others contracting them. The Geography of Strabo notes that Coele Syria Propria (Proper) is defined by the Libanus and Anti-libanus mountain ranges, running parallel to each other.[21] In the wars between the Ptolemies and the Seleucidæ, the name Cœle (or Hollow Syria) was applied to the whole of the southern portion of Syria, but under the Romans, it was confined to "Cœlesyria Proper" and variously included the district east of Anti-Libanus, about Damascus, and a portion of Palestine east of the Jordan river (possibly of: Trans-Jordan, Perea، أو ديكاپولس).[22]

    When then [Moses] he received the supreme authority, with the good will of all his subjects, God himself being the regulator and approver of all his actions, he conducted his people as a colony into Phoenicia, and into the hollow Syria (Coele-syria), and Palestine, which was at that time called the land of the Canaanites, the borders of which country were three days' journey distant from Egypt.[25]

  • Circa 43 CE Pomponius Mela in his written work, Description of the World ;

    Syria holds a broad expanse of the littoral, as well as lands that extend rather broadly into the interior, and it is designated by different names in different places. For example, it is called Coele, Mesopotamia, Judaea, Commagene, and Sophene. It is Palestine at the point where Syria abuts the Arabs, then Phoenicia, and then—where it reaches Cilicia—Antiochia. [...] In Palestine, however, is Gaza, a mighty and well fortified city.[26]

المستعمرات اليونانية

The name Syria comes from the ancient Greek regional name for the Levantine colonies and colonial territories which they had established and which were "formerly comprehended as part of Assyria" (see Name of Syria).[27] Syria had an uncertain border to the northeast that Pliny the Elder describes as including from west to east; Commagene, Sophene, and Adiabene. In Pliny's time, Syria was administratively divided into a number of provinces with various degrees of autonomy under the Roman Empire, such as the Ityraei or Ituraei, who were a people of Coelo-Syria famous for shooting with a bow, [The wood of the trees called] "yews are bent into Ituraean bows".[28][29]

The governor of Syria retained the civil administration of the whole large province undiminished, and held for long alone in all Asia a command of the first rank. It was only in the course of the second century that a diminution of his prerogatives occurred, when Hadrian took one of the four legions from the governor of Syria and handed it over to the governor of Palestine. It was Severus who at length withdrew the first place in the Roman military hierarchy from the Syrian governor. After having subdued the province —which had wished at that time to make Niger emperor, as it had formerly done with its governor Vespasian —amidst resistance from the capital Antioch in particular, he ordained its partition into a northern and a southern half, and gave to the governor of the former, which was called Coele-Syria, two legions, to the governor of the latter, the province of Syro-Phoenicia, one [legion].[44]

Under the Romans the province was divided into nine districts: Cassiotis, Apamene, Chalcidice, Seleucis, Pieria, Commagene, Cyrrhestice, Chalybonitis, Palmyrene.(Image of p. 476 at Google Books) {{cite book}}: External link in |quote= (help)

Durham University: 90, note 29. Retrieved 13 June 2015. The toponym "Coele Syria" (Κοίλη Συρία) has been used by ancient authors to designate various regions of the Levant. The term appeared for the first time in Greek language في بداية القرن الرابع ق.م.. Schalit (1954) 68-70 and Sartre (1988) 22, 26 among others have convincingly argued that at that time "Coele Syria" signified "the whole of Syria" from the Levantine coast in the west to the river Euphrates in the east covering the entire area of the old Achaemenid satrapy called kul ʿawar nahara ("everything beyond the river"). The word Κοίλη in this context does thus not mean "hollow" (κοῖλος), but "whole", and originates probably as a Greek transliteration from the Aramaic word "kul". As a result of administrative changes in the Levant during the following two and a half centuries, the toponym "Coele Syria" acquired additional narrower meanings, whereby it was used to refer to different parts of Syria. Throughout antiquity, though, it never seems to have lost its original meaning.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

Syria here is Coele-Syria (Hollow Syria), in effect, the old Persian satrapy of Abarnahara ('the land beyond the river'; cf. Lehmann-Haupt §26; cf. §§129 ff). By strict definition, 'Hollow Syria' was the area between Lebanon and Antilebanon, though it came to represent the stretch from the Orontes to the Dead Sea. Strabo 16. 2. 16 C755 shows that it includes Damascus and the Jordan River, and that its northern and southern reaches are roughly parallel with Tripolis and Sidon respectively. Since the satrapy lists do not include a separate ruler for Phoenicia, we must conclude that Coele-Syria in the broad sense includes Phoenica as well; see also Pliny, HN 5. 13. 66-7.

Authors differ much in settling its limits, some extending, and others contracting, them too much: Strabo says, Coele Syria Propria is defined by Libanus and Anti-libanus, running parallel to each other. Now if we determine the limits of these two mountains, we shall go near to settle those of Coele Syria. They both begin a little above the sea; Libanus near Tripolis; chiefly against the spot called Dei Facies: Antilibanus at Sidon; but they terminate near the mountains of Arabia, above the territory of Damascus, and near the mountains of the Trachonitis, and there they terminate in other mountains, Strabo.

Most helpful is Strabo, Geog. 16.2.16-22: in 16-20 he discusses Coele-Syria proper, the area between the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon Mountains; then in 21 he says the whole area between Seleucia (i.e., Syria) and Egypt-Arabia is called Coele-Syria, pointing out that "the country marked off by the Libanus and the Antilibanus is called by that name in a special sense" (see also 22). He is not confused but reports differing contemporary usages.

Syria holds a broad expanse of the littoral, as well as lands that extend rather broadly into the interior, and it is designated by different names in different places. For example, it is called Coele, Mesopotamia, Judaea, Commagene, and Sophene. 63. It is Palestine at the point where Syria abuts the Arabs, then Phoenicia, and then—where it reaches Cilicia—Antiochia. [...] 64. In Palestine, however, is Gaza, a mighty and well fortified city.

The problem of indicating precise ancient boundaries in Transjordan is difficult and complex and varies according to the time period under discussion. After the creation of the Roman province of Arabia في 106 م. Gerasa and Philadelphia were included in it. Nonetheless, Ptolemy—who was writing in the second century A.D. but did not record places by Roman provinces—described them as being in (the local geographical unit of) Coele Syria (5.14.18). Furthermore, Philadelphia continued to describe itself on its coins and in inscriptions of the second and third centuries A.D. as being a city of Coele Syria; see above, Philadelphia, n. 9. As for the boundaries of the new province, the northern frontier extended to a little beyond the north of Bostra and east; the western border ran somewhat east of the Jordan River valley and the Dead Sea but west of the city of Madaba (see M. Sartre, Trois ét., 17-75; Bowersock, ZPE5, [1970] 37-39; id., JRS61 [1971] 236-42; and especially id.. Arabia, 90-109). Gadara in Peraea is identified today with es-Salt near Tell Jadur, a place that is near the western boundary of the province of Arabia. And this region could have been described by Stephanos as being located "between Coele Syria and Arabia."

Cœlosyria properly so called, lay between Libanus and Antilibanus, and was thence called Cœlosyria, or the Hollow Syria. Its principal cities were Heliopolis, Abila, Damascus and Laodicea. This geographer styles Abila Abila Lysaniœ, which agrees with St. Luke's division of the tetrarchy, chap iii. 1. From Abila, the neighbouring country took the name of Abilene.

The governor of Syria retained the civil administration of the whole large province undiminished, and held for long alone in all Asia a command of the first rank. [...] It was only in the course of the second century that a diminution of his prerogatives occurred, when Hadrian took one of the four legions from the governor of Syria and handed it over to the governor of Palestine. It was Severus who at length withdrew the first place in the Roman military hierarchy from the Syrian governor. After having subdued the province —which had wished at that time to make Niger emperor, as it had formerly done with its governor Vespasian —amidst resistance from the capital Antioch in particular, he ordained its partition into a northern and a southern half, and gave to the governor of the former, which was called Coele-Syria, two legions, to the governor of the latter, the province of Syro-Phoenicia, one [legion].
