Accho
      n : a town and port in northwestern Israel in the eastern
          Mediterranean [syn: Acre, Akko, Akka]
 Accho
    sultry or sandy, a town and harbour of Phoenicia, in the tribe
    of Asher, but never acquired by them (Judg. 1:31). It was known
    to the ancient Greeks and Romans by the name of Ptolemais, from
    Ptolemy the king of Egypt, who rebuilt it about B.C. 100. Here
    Paul landed on his last journey to Jerusalem (Acts 21:7). During
    the crusades of the Middle Ages it was called Acra; and
    subsequently, on account of its being occupied by the Knights
    Hospitallers of Jerusalem, it was called St. Jean d'Acre, or
    simply Acre.
