There are several references to tombs. This Thamna (cf. K. 96:24) is northwest of Ramalla at Tibne. Paula viewed the "tombs on Mt. Ephraim of Joshua, son of Naue and of Eliazar, son of Aron, the priest, one of whom is buried in Thamathsare on the north side of Mt. Gass and the other in Gabaa of Phinees" ( PPT I, 12 and Jerome's Epistle 108:13). On Thamathaare (cf. Thannathsara 100:1) Thamna is near Gouphna (K. 76:2 in Josephus Antiquities V, 1, 29.
339. Gabass (Gabath). Joshua 24:33; K. 70:22; L. 255:66.
Textual variants: Gabaath (Greek) and Ambacuc (Latin).
The tomb tradition of Paula is recorded in the note on the previous entry. This Gabatha may be the same as that in the Daroma (K. 70:10). But it is best at el jeba' north of Eleutheropolis. For another tradition of the tomb of Ambakoym see K. 88:22 and K. 114:17. Probably the first and last parts of this entry refer to the Gabatha (K. 70:6) of Saul and Benjamin located by the Onomasticon and Paula as near er-Ram . Ephraim and Benjamin have also been confused (Joshua 18:24).
340. Gabaan (Gabaam). Joshua 21:17; K. 70:26; L. 255:70.
This is either the above Gabatha of Saul or another Geba of Benjamin (cf. K. 70:7). "In Gabas, a city destroyed even to the ground, she stayed for a short time remembering its sins and the concubine cut into pieces and the 300 men of the tribe of Benjamin reserved for the sake of the Apostle Paul" (Jerome's Epistle 108:8; Paula PPT I, 5; cf. Judges 20:43). It is out of order and a late addition.
341. Geththa. I Samuel 5:8; K. 72:2; L. 255:73.
Textual variant for the second contemporary town Giththim (Latin).
The biblical information on Gath is confused (cf. K. 68:4). There is debate whether Canaanite and Philistine Gath are identical or not. In the Onomasticon Giththam is equated with Geththa, but probably also with the previously discussed Geth (K. 70:14) or Gehtremmon (K. 68:20).
The road between Antipatris (K. 68:15) and Iamnia (K. 106:21) is not very important in the Onomasticon so some have tried to emend to Antipatris to Ioppa (K. 110:24). If the text is correct then the Madaba map Gitta has followed that road and placed it near Ramle at Tell Ras Abu Hamid . If we emend the text and change the road it may be Saqya .
The second Geththeim is not located. It may be related to Gethem (K. 62:7).
342. Gallei (Gallim). I Samuel 25:44; K. 72:5; L. 255:77.
A biblical note (Isaiah 10:30) and then a tradition of a similar sounding name Gallaia. This may be reflected in Jilya half way between Akkarōn (K. 22:6) and Eleutheropolis (K. 18:12) beyond the area of Benjamin and which has no relationship to the biblical site at Kh Kakul .
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Gallim, transmigration or revelations" (104).
343. Gelamsour (Gelamsur). I Samuel 27:8; K. 72:8; L. 255:80.
Simple record of an enemy city.
Jerome does not translate as usual and does not equate with Philistines but simply transliterates. The entry is the result of a poor LXX transcription.
344. Gelboue (Gelbua). I Samuel 28:4; K. 72:9; L. 256:81.
Textual variant Geboue (Greek).
The mountain is not proper for Onomasticon . The village of Gelbous is probably Jelbun southwest of Beisan . The mountain is Jebel Fuqua but out text errs in the equations.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Gelboe, rolling about or running around or flowing heap" (104).
345. Geddour (Gedud). I Samuel 30:8; K. 72:11; L. 256:83.
Textual variants: Geddar (Greek) and Gedur (Latin).
Another transcription confusion from the LXX. Not properly a place name as the Hexaplaric notes show and therefore suspect.
346. Gazēra. II Samuel 5:25; K. 72:13; L. 256:85.
