A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Antiparah

by George Reynolds

ANTIPARAH. A Nephite city on the southwest border, not far from the Pacific Ocean, which fell into the hands of the Lamanites in the long war inaugurated by Amalickiah. They stationed a powerful garrison there; but afterwards evacuated it to strengthen other Nephite cities which they had captured (B. C. 64). In after years it undoubtedly again fell into the hands of the Lamanites, as at the time of their invasion of the land of Zarahemla, (B. C. 35).
