Arimathea in Easton's Bible Dictionary
a "city of the Jews" (Luke 23:51), the birth-place of Joseph
in
whose sepulchre our Lord was laid (Matt. 27:57, 60;
John 19:38).
It is probably the same place as Ramathaim in Ephraim,
and the
birth-place of Samuel (1 Sam. 1:1, 19). Others
identify it with
Ramleh in Dan, or Rama (q.v.) in Benjamin (Matt.
2:18).

Arimathea in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
(Matthew 27:57). The birthplace or abode of the rich man
Joseph, who, by Pilate's leave, which he "boldly" craved,
casting away the "fear" which had previously kept him from
open discipleship (Mark 15:43; John 19:38), buried our Lord's
body in his own "new tomb" at Jerusalem. Arimathea, a "city of
the Jews" (Luke's vague expression for the Gentiles, to whom
no more precise information seemed needful: Luke 23:51) is
possibly identical with Ramah, Samuel's birthplace, called
Armathaim in the Septuagint (1 Samuel 1:1; 1 Samuel 1:19); but
many associate it with Ramleh, on the road from Jaffa to
Jerusalem.

Arimathea in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE
ar-i-ma-the'-a (Arimathaia): "A city of the Jews," the home of
Joseph in whose sepulchre the body of Jesus was laid. Its
identity is the subject of much conjecture. The Onomasticon of
Eusebius and Jerome identifies it with Ramathaim-Zophim in the
hill-country of Ephraim (1 Sam 11), which is Ramah the
birthplace and burial-place of Samuel (1 Sam 1:19; 25:1), and
places it near Timnah on the borders of Judah and Dan. G. A.
Smith thinks it may be the modern Beit Rima, a village on an
eminence 2 miles North of Timnah. Others incline to Ramallah,
8 miles North of Jerusalem and 3 miles from Bethel (Mt 27:57;
Mk 15:43; Lk 23:51; Jn 19:38).
