===Apamea in Jewish tradition===
Apamea is mentioned in the [[Talmud]]. The passages relating to witchcraft in Apamea (Ber. 62a) and to a dream in Apamea (Niddah, 30b) probably refer to the Apamea in Phrygia which was looked upon as a fabulously distant habitation. Similarly the much-discussed passage, Yeb. 115b, which treats of the journey of the exilarch Isaac, should also be interpreted to mean a journey from [[Corduene]] to Apamea in Phrygia; for if [[Apamea (Babylonia)|Apamea in Mesene]] were meant (Brüll's ''Jahrb.'' x. 145) it is quite impossible that the [[Babylonia]]ns should have had any difficulty in identifying the body of such a distinguished personage. The mid third century CE coins of Apamea/Kibotos with scenes of Noah and his ark are among the earliest biblical scenes in Roman art.
