94. Atarōth. Joshua 18:13; K. 26:25; L. 241:32.
The two villages are probably both called now Kh'attara , one near Bir Zeit (above K. 26:19) and the other east of Hizma dependent upon Jerusalem (K. 112:6). These may only be retaining the name and the Old Testament sites are to be located elsewhere.
95. Anathōth. Joshua 21:18; K. 26:27; L. 241:34.
Jerome in Commentary on Jeremiah 11:21 agrees with the three miles given here. The Roman-Byzantine site for the home of Jeremiah was the present village of 'Anata . Josephus has it 20 stadia from Jerusalem ( Antiquities X, 7, 3). There are more ancient remains but not as many at nearby Ras el Harrubeh which may be the Old Testament site.

The village Aiphraim fits this location. A textual variant has six for five miles. Madaba Map with "Ephron or Ephraia" may reflect Jerome's spelling.
