Bar Dala, Bardala, bar Dalia, Bardalia
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
or A place near Lydda, which once harbored a rabbinic seat of learning (B. M. 10a et seq.; see Rabbinowicz, "Diḳduḳe Soferim," ad loc.; Beẓah 14a, see Rabbinowicz, ib.; Yer. 'Er. 6:24a; Yer. Kil. 1:27a; Yer. Sheb. 2:33d). It is supposed to be identical with Bet-Deli ('Eduy. 8:5; Yeb. 16:7, in Yer. Mish. and Gemara 16a, "Badla"), which is recognized by some in Wady Ed-Dalia, between Tibnin and Safed in Galilee; by others, in Bet-Ulia (Dulia) on the road from Hebron to Jaffa. As the place was not far from Lydda—so that a Bardalian was sometimes considered as a Lyddan (Yer. Sanh. 1:18c)—the latter conjecture is the more probable. The local name is used in rabbinical literature as a surname, designating several scholars who hailed from that place (Abba Cohen of Bardala, AḤA BARDALA), and is occasionally employed as a prænomen; e.g., Bardala b. Ṭabyome (Ḥag. 5a; see also Zeb. 33b).
