Textual variant Dabōn (Greek).
Biblical information from Joshua 13:26, Isaiah 15:2, and Jeremiah 48:18.
The Onomasticon does not equate the station of the Israelites with the Moabite Dibōn (K. 80:5). But no doubt the large village was Dhiban which has been excavated. Probably a garrison was there according to Notitia Dignitatum (81:27). But curiously it is not on the Tabula Peutinger . This is the only listing of this important town unless Dēbous (K. 104:12) is equated with Dibōn rather than Hesbous (K. 84:4).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dibon, sufficient intelligence or abundant understanding" (80).
373. Daibōngad (Dabira). Numbers 33:45; K. 76:23; L. 257:48.
Simple listing of station of Israel. This and next are late additions.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dibongad, intelligence is sufficient for the test" (80).
374. Dusmai Moab (Dysmae Moab i.e., to the west of Moab). Numbers 22:1ff.; K. 78:1;
L. 257:49.
Textual variants: Balaak (Greek) and Balaac (Latin).
Not a place and out of order so this is quite suspect is a late editing or marginal gloss. The "plain" of Moab is northwest of the Dead Sea in the Aulōn (K. 14:22 and cf. Deuteronomy 31:9, 32:49, 34:1).
375. Dabeira (Dabira). Joshua 10:38; K. 78:5; L. 257:53.
The Onomasticon does not see a village near Chebrōn (see below K. 78:12). In the north another village is a dependent of Diokaisarea (K. 16:131) and reported near Mt.Thabōr (K. 98:23). It is another village of the Jews (cf. Note in K. 22:9 and Appendix II) but remains unidentified but possibly Daburyeh .
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dabir, speaking or speech or fearing the bear" (92).
376. Dor of Naphath (Nafeth). Joshua 11:2; K. 78:8; L. 258:56.
The Tabula Peutinger locates it 8 miles from Kaisarea and 20 miles from Ptolemais. The directions and mileage are missing in the Vatican Greek manuscript of the Onomasticon but are properly emended from the Latin and from K. 136:16. Paula visited the ruins ( Epistle 108:8). These are either the site of ancient Dor at Tantura or just north of it at Kh el burj where Iron Age and Hellenistic remains are evident (cf. Joshua 17:11).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dor, generation" (92).
377. Dabeir (Dabir). Joshua 11:21; K. 78:12; L. 258:59.
The city of letters is also Iabeir (K. 106:22 and cf. K. 78:18).
Summary of biblical information with no Byzantine location (Joshua 15:15, 21: and Judges 1:11). The Old Testament site is contested for identification with Tell Beit Mirsim most preferred.
378. Dabeir (Dabir). Joshua 13:26; K. 78:15; L. 258:62.
Simple biblical notation.
379. Deimōna (Dimona). Joshua 15:22; K. 78:16; L. 258:63.
