Dubious edit
The section:
In Arabic and Hebrew the site is now known as Beit Jamal – the monastery is sometimes referenced as Beit Gemal or Beit Jimal. The name of the site is said to be from its original name (in years past) as the Jewish village of Kfar Gamla (כפר גמלא), meaning "Village of the Camel"[1] or "Village of the Recompense", and purportedly so named for Gamaliel, president of the ancient Jewish legislative body, the Sanhedrin.[citation needed] The Christian tradition believes that Gamaliel was buried here, as was Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and Nicodemus. In 415 their remains were disclosed in a dream and discovered by the priest Lucian, and removed at the orders of John, Bishop of Jerusalem, for depositing in the Church of Hagia Sion on Mount Zion, at the site of today's Abbey of the Dormition.[5] Thanks to the excavations carried out by Andrzej Strus on site, it is now largely accepted that in Byzantine times this was considered to be the burial site of St Stephen, Gamaliel, Nicodemus and Gamaliel's son Abibos.
...needs better sources. Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 3, p. 204 refers to it as "House of the camels". So does Palmer, 1881, p. 286.
The whole bit about being named after Gamaliel seems to be one of the many "New traditions" that the area is filled with. I suggest we remove it, unless better sources are given. Comments, anyone? Huldra (talk) 22:52, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
