134. Azanōth. Joshua 19:34; K. 30:24; L. 242:88.
Textual variant Azananōth (Greek).
Another of the villages dependent on Diokaesareia but Eusebius is not sure about the location.
135. Ailōn. Joshua 19:43; K. 30:26; L. 242:90.
Textual variants: Ahialon and Ahilon (Latin).
Eusebius seems to be confused here. Perhaps this is the Aialon of Jerome 19:16. Nikopolis is in the Valley of Aialon. In 220/1 A.D. Emaus was given the name Nikopolis (cf. K. 90:1.5). It was a famous city and a regional free city including both Aislon and Gezer (K. 66:21) in its territory. There was a bishop at the Council of Nicea from this chief city of the district. Jerome's Epistle 108 reports a church here. It is present day 'Amwas. Alous is the located at Yalu .
136. Arad. Judges 1:16; K. 32:2; L. 242:94.
Textual variant Arab (Greek).
See above K. 14:1f.
137. Ared. Joshua Judges 7:1; K. 32:4; L. 242:96.
Rivers, wells, mountains are all suspect entries in the Onomasticon . This is also out of order in the biblical sequence of things and suspect for that second reason also (cf. K. 36:4, 54:21, 72:22, 116:23, 116:25, 118:11).
138. Arisōth. Judges 4:2; K. 32:5; L. 242:97.
Textual variant Asiroth (Latin).
Eusebius identifies erroneously this with Iabeia Galaad (cf. K. 110:11f). Iabis is located six miles from Pella (K. 14:19) in both entries and this points to vicinity of Tell el Maqlub , which is the Old Testament site. Byzantine site is Kh Isna exactly six miles from Pella. By Procopius' time (1049A) it was a village, no longer a great city. But Procopius has confused the distance - 20 miles from Pella and 60 from Gerasa. (The Greek of Procopius has been corrected from the Onomasticon to read six, but only in Latin is the text complete for Procopius on this item.). Perhaps a corrected distance would be six from Pella and 20 from Gerasa. Harosheth of Old Testament is not located by the Onomasticon .
139. Ares. Judges 8:13; K. 32:8; L. n/a; Lacuna in Greek Text.
Text missing in Greek Vatican manuscript.
There seems to be a confusion of the Greek and Hebrew biblical texts.
140. Aroueir (Aruir). Judges 11:33; K. 32:9; L. 243:00.
Textual variant Arouei (Greek).
The scene seems to be in Transjordan but the homecoming has confused Eusebius (cf. K. 12:5). The Greek, if not an error, points to the vicinity of er Ram , possibly Kh arajanj . If Jerome is followed, as many prefer to do in order to arrive closer to Mizpeh (K. 130:1), it must be located at Kh 'arūra . The 20 is in conjuction of main road north from Jerusalem. A branch goes west to Kh 'arūra .
141. Arima. Judges 9:41; K. 32:11; L. 243:2.
A simple report of Scripture (cf. K. 144:27)
142. Aialon (Aialin). Judges 12:12; K. 32:12; L. 243:3.
The judge of Israel (Judges 12:11) has a name which sounds almost the same as that of the clan. Probably Ailon or Elon would be proper for both. Biblical information only.
143. Abel of the vineyards. Judges 11:33; K. 32:14; L. 243:5.
