380. Dalaan (Dadan). Joshua 15:38; K. 78:17; L. 258:64.

Textual variant Daian (Latin).

Simple tribal listing.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dalani, needy pauper" (93).

381. Denna. Joshua 15:49; K. 78:18; L. 258:65.

Another form using the biblical equation with Dabir (cf. K. 78:12).

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dana, cause or his judgment" (93).

382. Dauid (Dauia). Joshua 15:49; K. 78:20; L. 258:67.

Textual variants: Dad (Greek) and Dabuia and Dauhid (Latin).

Here Jerome has two forms of the name and the Greek only one. Possibly also the same as the above Dabir as confused in the LXX.

383. Douma (Duma). Joshua 15:52; K. 78:21; L. 258:68.

This is in the Daroma (K. 26:10) 17 miles from Eleutheropolis (K. 18:12) and probably located at Kh dumah ed deir , just north of dhahiriyeh which is southwest of Chebrōn (K. 6:8). In Jerome's Commentary on Isaiah 21:14 he locates Idumaea to the south of Duma and locates the village 20 miles from Eleutheropolis. The 17 marks turn off from main road.

384. Damna. Joshua 19:13; K. 78:23; L. 258:70.

Simple tribal listing plus Levitical addition. This and K. 78:25 may be late additions.

On Levitical city see Joshua 21:35.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Domna, silence" (93).

385. Dabasthe (Dasbath). Joshua 19:11; K. 78:24; L. 258:71.

Textual variants: Dabasse, Damasse (Greek) and Dabasthe (Latin).

Simple tribal listing.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dabbasth, slope" (93).

386. Dabrath. Joshua 19:22; K. 78:25; L. 258:72.

Simple tribal listing plus Levitical addition (cf. Joshua 21:28).

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Dabrath, speech" (93).

387. Drus. Judges 6:11; K. 80:2; L. 258:74.

Not a legitimate entry for the place names, but see Oak of Mambre (K. 76:1) and terebinthos (K. 164:11) for similar items.
