antipatris - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Antipatris
  a city built by Herod the Great, and called by this name in
  honour of his father, Antipater. It lay between Caesarea and
  Lydda, two miles inland, on the great Roman road from Caesarea
  to Jerusalem. To this place Paul was brought by night (Acts
  23:31) on his way to Caesarea, from which it was distant 28
  miles. It is identified with the modern, Ras-el-Ain, where rise
  the springs of Aujeh, the largest springs in Palestine.
