Wikipedia:
Kursi (Medieval Greek: Κυρσοί, Hebrew: כורסי, Arabic: الكرسي) is an archaeological site in the Golan Heights containing the ruins of a Byzantine monastery and identified by tradition as the site of Jesus‘ “Miracle of the Swine“.[1] Part of the archaeological site is now an Israeli national park. Kursi takes its name from the Talmudic site.[2] A marble slab with Aramaic text discovered in December 2015 seems to indicate that the settlement had, as of c. 500 CE, a Jewish or Judeo-Christian population.
