 Street
    The street called "Straight" at Damascus (Acts 9:11) is "a long
    broad street, running from east to west, about a mile in length,
    and forming the principal thoroughfare in the city." In Oriental
    towns streets are usually narrow and irregular and filthy (Ps.
    18:42; Isa. 10:6). "It is remarkable," says Porter, "that all
    the important cities of Palestine and Syria Samaria, Caesarea,
    Gerasa, Bozrah, Damascus, Palmyra, had their 'straight streets'
    running through the centre of the city, and lined with stately
    rows of columns. The most perfect now remaining are those of
    Palmyra and Gerasa, where long ranges of the columns still
    stand.", Through Samaria, etc.
