Excerpt from the Geographical Dictionary of the Gospel Salton Maria Valtorta, by Jean-François Lavère:Timon, a young synagogue leader near the Belle Water, becomes a disciple of Jesus. Struck down by anathema by the Sanhedrin, he takes refuge in Aëra, his native village. "Come, Lord, to Aëra and you will see if there you are not respected. You will not find as much faith in Judea as there"[1]. Jesus goes there in October of the second year, despite the objections of his own: "I promised to go there and I am going"[2]There he receives a warm welcome despite pouring rain, and Peter, all sheepish, remarks: "Timon is right. Here everyone believes in You. They are better than us."[3]
The ancient Aere (or Aram) is identified with the modern As Sanamayn (or Es Sanamein) in Syria. Aram, kingdom of the Arameans, is the biblical word to designate Syria. Excavations carried out in 2009 uncovered the remains of two thermal buildings from the Roman era1. In the Bible, Aëra appears under the designation of the land of Aram.
