My Comments:
1600 Stadia could be as few as 183.9 Roman miles or as many as 212.1 miles by the measure used by Josephus.
Of the Wine Trough - Press - Vat, also compare Isaiah 63:
Isaiah 63 (KJV)
1Who
is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this
that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his
strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
3I
have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with
me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury;
and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain
all my raiment.
4For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5And
I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was
none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my
fury, it upheld me.
6And
I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my
fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
