Simple biblical notation (cf. K. 6:16; K. 26:11; K. 36:1 and K. 62:13).
451. Emath. II Kings 14:25; K. 90:4; L. 262:9.
These are all the same as Aemath (K. 23:30 and K. 88:20) the present Syriac Hamath (cf. K. 36:10). Jerome in Commentary on Amos 6:2 distinguishes "little Emath" which is Epiphania and "great Emath, which is now called Antiochia."

452. Eser. II Kings 15:29; K. 90:9; L. 262:14.
Simple biblical notation. Same as K. 20:1, etc.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Eser, falsehood" (65).
453. Enacheim (Inachim) or Enbachein (Inbachim). Micah 1:10; K. 90:10; L. 262:15.
Textual variant en bachein (Greek).
Simple Hexaplaric information. Another instance of Greek en for Hebrew B . LXX has en Akeim.
454. Enaraba (Inaraba). II Samuel 2:29; K. 90:11; L. 262:17.
Textual variant en araba (Greek).
Out of order and again as previous entry Greek en for Hebrew B .
Hexaplaric information only (cf. K. 12:25 and K. 16:12).
455. Elkese. Nahum 1:1; K. 90:12; L. 262:18.
Vulgate has elcessaeus.
In Jerome's Commentary on Nahum , Introduction, he knows a little village in Galilaea called Elcesi which has old ruins around it, but this site should be in Judaea.
456. Emakeim (Emacim). Jeremiah 49:4; K. 90:13; L. 262:19.
Textual variants: Enakeim (Greek) and Enacim (Latin). Symmachus missing in Vatican manuscript.
Simple Hexaplaric information.
457. Emmaous (Emmaus). Luke 24:13; K. 90:15; L. 262:28.
The identification with Nikopolis (K. 30:26) at Amwas is clearly made here as well as in Jerome's Epistle 108:8 (Paula PPT I, 4). In the Epistle Jerome remarks ambiguously on a church consecrated at the house of Cleopha. A bishop was at the Council of Nicea. Since Jerome, sometimes adds such information to the Greek Onomasticon it is surprising that he does not do so here. "Emmaous" is not on the Madaba map but Nikopolis is. On the Tabula Peutinger it is 12 miles from Diospolis and 19 miles from Gophna. In Itin. Bourd. it is 10 miles from Diospolis and 22 from Jerusalem. The distance in Luke does not agree with this location since it is too near to Jerusalem. Some feel the New Testament text has been changed from 160 to 60 stadia (also 60 in the Vulgate).
458. Ephraim. John 11:54; K. 90:18; L. 262:24.
Cf. K. 28:4 and K. 86:1. The Madaba map has "Ephron and Ephraia, where the Lord went." Probably the Map and Eusebius have the village at Et-tayibeh in mind as the nearest village to the wilderness.
459. Zaphōeim (Zafoim). Genesis 36:43; K. 92:3; L. 262:28.
