From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gadara
      the capital of the Roman province of Peraea. It stood on the
      summit of a mountain about 6 miles south-east of the Sea of
      Galilee. Mark (5:1) and Luke (8:26-39) describe the miracle of
      the healing of the demoniac (Matthew [8:28-34] says two
      demoniacs) as having been wrought "in the country of the
      Gadarenes," thus describing the scene generally. The miracle
      could not have been wrought at Gadara itself, for between the
      lake and this town there is the deep, almost impassable ravine
      of the Hieromax (Jarmuk). It is identified with the modern
      village of Um-Keis, which is surrounded by very extensive ruins,
      all bearing testimony to the splendour of ancient Gadara.
     
         "The most interesting remains of Gadara are its tombs, which
      dot the cliffs for a considerable distance round the city,
      chiefly on the north-east declivity; but many beautifully
      sculptured sarcophagi are scattered over the surrounding
      heights. They are excavated in the limestone rock, and consist
      of chambers of various dimensions, some more than 20 feet
      square, with recesses in the sides for bodies...The present
      inhabitants of Um-Keis are all troglodytes, 'dwelling in tombs,'
      like the poor maniacs of old, and occasionally they are almost
      as dangerous to unprotected travellers."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Geder
      a walled place, (Josh. 12:13), perhaps the same as Gederah or
      Gedor (15:58).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gederah
      the fortress; a fortified place, a town in the plain (shephelah)
      of Judah (Josh. 15:36). This is a very common Canaanite and
      Phoenician name. It is the feminine form of Geder (12:13); the
      plural form is Gederoth (15:41). This place has by some been
      identified with Jedireh, a ruin 9 miles from Lydda, toward
      Eleutheropolis, and 4 miles north of Sur'ah (Zorah), in the
      valley of Elah.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gedor
      a wall. (1.) A city in the mountains or hill country of Judah
      (Josh. 15:58), identified with Jedar, between Jerusalem and
      Hebron.
     
         (2.) 1 Chr. 4:39, the Gederah of Josh. 15:36, or the
      well-known Gerar, as the LXX. read, where the patriarchs of old
      had sojourned and fed their flocks (Gen. 20:1, 14, 15; 26:1, 6,
      14).
     
         (3.) A town apparently in Benjamin (1 Chr. 12:7), the same
      probably as Geder (Josh. 12:13).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gutter
      Heb. tsinnor, (2 Sam. 5:8). This Hebrew word occurs only
      elsewhere in Ps. 42:7 in the plural, where it is rendered
      "waterspouts." It denotes some passage through which water
      passed; a water-course.
     
         In Gen. 30:38, 41 the Hebrew word rendered "gutters" is
      _rahat_, and denotes vessels overflowing with water for cattle
      (Ex. 2:16); drinking-troughs.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Geder, Gederah, Gederoth, a wall
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Gether, the vale of trial or searching
