Galilee: all Greek manuscripts read Γαλγαλα (Gilgal), but the geography demands Galilee — Arbela (mentioned in the same verse) is in Galilee, and there were no Jewish targets in the Gilead region at this point in the narrative. Josephus (Antiquities XII.11.1) explicitly reads 'Galilee.' The confusion likely arose in the Hebrew substrate, where גָּלִיל (*Galil*, Galilee) and גִּלְגָּל (*Gilgal*) are easily confused.
