Esthaol (K. 88:2) is also 10 miles north of Eleutheropolis (K. 18:12). The distance is somewhat short for both Eathaol and Saraa unless it marks turn off from the main road to lesser road. They are near each other about 14-15 miles north. Today at sar'a southeast of Nicopolis (K. 30:27).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Saraa, hornets or shortness of evil" (97).
843. Sokchō. Joshua 15:35; K. 156:18; L. 284:32.

This is not located along any main road and does not seem to be the Sapharea of the Madaba map. It is best located at Sawafir 10 miles northeast of Ascalōn (K. 22:15) on the road to Eleutheropolis (K. 18:12). Perhaps on the border.

849. Selo. Joshua 16:6; K. 156:28; L. 284:42.
Two biblical items (Genesis 38:5) separated by a location. The distance varies by two miles between Latin and Greek. In the Madaba map "Silo where the ark was" following Eusebius. The present Kh Seilun is over 12 miles from Neapolis (K. 4:28). But turn off from the main road is at 12 milestone. Paula saw a destroyed altar there ( Epistle 108:13, PPT I, 13). Perhaps the 10 miles of Jerome locates Akkrabein.
