Dalmanutha was the place on the western side of the Sea of Galilee where Jesus came after feeding the four thousand. Its exact identification is uncertain and closely related to the Magdala or Magadan parallel, but it remains important because it belongs to the immediate aftermath of a major miracle in the Gospel narrative. First appears in Mark 8:10.1

A place on the west of the Sea of Galilee, mentioned only in Mark 8:10. In the parallel passage it is said that Christ came “into the borders of Magdala” (Matt. 15:39). It is plain, then, that Dalmanutha was near Magdala, which was probably the Greek name of one of the many Migdols (i.e., watch-towers) on the western side of the lake of Gennesaret. It has been identified in the ruins of a village about a mile from Magdala, in the little open valley of ‘Ain-el-Barideh, “the cold fountain,” called el-Mejdel, possibly the “Migdal-el” of Josh. 19:38. 3
