Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898–1904)· Public Domain

The place where the tax collector sat to receive Iiis dues. In Wyclifs translation it is rendered tolbothe. In the case of Matthew or Levi, the toll collected was the custom exacted by and paid into the treasury of Herod Antipas, the Idumasan prince who then ruled over Galilee. The t(\wihov at Capernaum was of importance, as a large traffic passed on the highway between Damascus and Ptoleniais. See Publican. J. Macphekson.
