Rhaphanaea
Rhaphanaea (Raphanea, Italian Rafanea) is a Catholic titular see. The original diocese was in Syria Secunda, a suffragan of Apamea. Rhaphanaea is mentioned in ancient times only by Josephus, who says that in that vicinity there was a river which flowed six days and ceased on the seventh, probably an intermittent spring now called Fououar ed-Deir, near Rafanieh, a village of the vilayet of Alep in the valley of the Oronte. The ancient name was preserved.

In the Battle of Ba'rin (Mont Ferrand) in 1137, a Crusader force commanded by King Fulk of Jerusalem was scattered and defeated by Zengi, the atabeg of Mosul and Aleppo. This setback resulted in the permanent loss of the Crusader castle of Baarin.
