Identity and summary of biblical information (Joshua 13:21; Numbers 31:8; cf. K. 142:7 and K.36:13, for Petra, named Rekim by Josephus).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Recem, variety or painting" (83).
774. Remmōn. Joshua 15:32; K. 144:11; L. 280:98.
The Madaba map follows Eusebius and has a Remmōn northeast of Jerusalem. This is an error for the Old Testament border town (Joshua 19:7). The name for the Onomasticon 's site continues today at Rammun 3 1/2 miles east of Bethel (K. 40:20) which is 12 miles south of et-taiyibeh . This fits the 15 miles of the Onomasticon and may be the biblical Rimmon of Benjamin.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Remmon, heights" (97).
775. Rōgēl. Joshua 18:16; K. 144:13; L. 280:00.
A spring and so not a proper entry for the Onomasticon . Near Zōeleth according to K. 94:6.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Rogal, foot or bearing down" (97).
776. Rama. Joshua 18:25; K. 144:14; L. 280:01.
In Commentary on Hosea 5:8 Jerome reconfirms this location. Not a city of Saul (cf. Isaiah 10:24). On the Madaba map Rama is a bit farther north because of crowding. It is near Gabaon (K. 66:11) and Michmas (K. 132:3) and probably the name continues in er-Ram . The "opposite" Baithel is from the biblical text and doesn't contradict the Jerusalem location (cf. Jeremiah 31:15).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Rama, high" (97).
777. Rekēm. Joshua 18:27; K. 144:16; L. 280:03.
Simple tribal listing.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Recem, variety or of death" (97).
778. Remmōn. Joshua 19:13; K. 144:17; L. 280:04.
Biblical information and tribal listing. Probably related to K. 144:11.
779. Rabbōth. Joshua 19:20; K. 144:19; L. n/a; Lacuna in Greek Text.
Textual variants: Raboth and Rabooth (Latin).
This entry is missing in the Greek Vatican manuscript. No identity is made here. Robbo or Rebbo is only vaguely located in the region of Eleutheropolis (K. 18:12). About 7 miles northeast is Kh Ribba , not on a Roman road, which retains the name. Perhaps same as K. 26:17.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Rabboth, many" (97).
780. Rethōm. Joshua 19:21; K. 144:21; L. 280:06.
The first part of this entry is missing from the Greek Vatican manuscript.
Simple tribal listing.
781. Roōb. Joshua 19:28; K. 144:22; L. 280:07.
The last part of this entry is missing from the Greek Vatican manuscript.
