From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Helbon
     fat; i.e., "fertile", (Ezek. 27: 18 only), a place whence wine
     was brought to the great market of Tyre. It has been usually
     identified with the modern Aleppo, called Haleb by the native
     Arabs, but is more probably to be found in one of the villages
     in the Wady Helbon, which is celebrated for its grapes, on the


     east slope of Anti-Lebanon, north of the river Barada (Abana).
