Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Banacha

​BANACHA (Βάναχα or, according to another reading, Nachaba), a city of that part of Arabia Petraea which was situated towards Mesopotamia. (Ptol. V. 19. § 7.) Forster takes it to be equivalent to Beni-Nachath, i. e. the sons of Nahatb, one of the ​dukes of Edom, the son of Reuel, the son of Esau. (Gen. xxxvi. 4; Forster, Arabia, vol. ii. p. 52.) [ G. W. ]
