Syrian Coastal Mountain Range : ウィキペディア英語版 | Syrian Coastal Mountain Range The Coastal Mountain Range ((アラビア語:سلسلة الجبال الساحلية) ''Silsilat al-Jibāl as-Sāḥilīyah'') is a mountain range in northwestern Syria running north-south, parallel to the coastal plain.〔Federal Research Division, Library of Congress (2005) ("Country Profile: Syria" ) page 5〕 The mountains have an average width of , and their average peak elevation is just over 1,200 meters with the highest peak, Nabi Yunis, reaching , east of Latakia.〔 In the north the average height declines to , and to in the south. ==Name== Classically, this range was known as the Bargylus;〔Hackett, Horatio B. (editor) (1870) ''Dr. William Smith's Dictionary of the Bible: comprising its antiquities, biography, geography, and natural history'' (Volume IV, Regum-Melech to Zuzims) Hurd and Houghton, New York, (page 3142 ), 〕 a name mentioned by Pliny the elder. The Greek "Bargylus" had its roots in the name of an ancient city-kingdom called Barga most probably located in the vicinity of the mountains; it was a city of the Eblaite Empire in the third millennium BC, and then a vassal kingdom of the Hittites, who named the mountain range after Barga. Under the Hashashins were known as the Jabal Bahra (). They are also sometimes known as the Nusayriyah Mountains ( ''Jibāl an-Nuṣayriyah'') or the Alawiyin Mountains ( ''Jibāl al-‘Alawīyin''); both of these names refer to the Alawi ethnoreligious group which has traditionally lived there, though the former term is based on an antiquated label for the community that is now considered insulting.
