What does Mark 1:28 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
28. And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee--rather, "the whole region of Galilee"; though some, as Meyer and Ellicott, explain it of the country surrounding Galilee.

It seems to be used by St. Mark, as our ancient writers used forsooth, and such like words.
