From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Magdala
      a tower, a town in Galilee, mentioned only in Matt. 15:39. In
      the parallel passage in Mark 8:10 this place is called
      Dalmanutha. It was the birthplace of Mary called the Magdalen,
      or Mary Magdalene. It was on the west shore of the Lake of
      Tiberias, and is now probably the small obscure village called
      el-Mejdel, about 3 miles north-west of Tiberias. In the Talmud
      this city is called "the city of colour," and a particular
      district of it was called "the tower of dyers." The indigo plant
      was much cultivated here.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Magdalene
      a surname derived from Magdala, the place of her nativity, given
      to one of the Marys of the Gospels to distinguish her from the
      other Marys (Matt. 27:56, 61; 28:1, etc.). A mistaken notion has
      prevailed that this Mary was a woman of bad character, that she
      was the woman who is emphatically called "a sinner" (Luke
      7:36-50). (See {MARY}.)

      15:37).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Migdol
      tower. (1.) A strongly-fortified place 12 miles from Pelusium,
      in the north of Egypt (Jer. 44:1; 46:14). This word is rendered
      "tower" in Ezek. 29:10, but the margin correctly retains the
      name Migdol, "from Migdol to Syene;" i.e., from Migdol in the
      north to Syene in the south, in other words, the whole of Egypt.
     
         (2.) A place mentioned in the passage of the Red Sea (Ex.
