 Aceldama
    the name which the Jews gave in their proper tongue, i.e., in
    Aramaic, to the field which was purchased with the money which
    had been given to the betrayer of our Lord. The word means
    "field of blood." It was previously called "the potter's field"
    (Matt. 27:7, 8; Acts 1:19), and was appropriated as the
    burial-place for strangers. It lies on a narrow level terrace on
    the south face of the valley of Hinnom. Its modern name is Hak
    ed-damm.
