Daroma

[1] In late antiquity, the term "Daroma" referred to the region extending from Ein Gedi, near the Dead Sea, to Eleutheropolis (Beth Govrin), a prominent city of the time.

[4] In late antiquity, the 'borders' of the Daroma region were marked to the north by Mamre and nearby Hebron, to the east by En Gedi on the Dead Sea and to the west by the territory of Eleutheropolis.

[6] By c. 300, Eusebius is describing seven contemporary large Jewish villages in Daroma region: Juttah, Carmel, Eshtemoa, Rimmon, Tele, Lower Anim, and Ein Gedi.

[4] This must be seen in connection with the ornamentation of synagogues from the area, which show that efforts were made to imitate rituals specific to the destroyed Jerusalem Temple, possibly due to the presence of refugees from priestly families who had escaped from the former Jewish capital.

Its territory has the name of Ad Darum (the ancient Daroma and the modern Dairan)....It is an  emporium for the neighbouring country, and a land of riches and plenty, possessing fine domains.
