The village is dependent on Eleutheropolis (K. 18:12) and probably at Kh Zanu'a .

Latin reverses the order of information in the Greek text.

The distance is double that for tell Zif but it is more south than east of Hebron. It is southeast of Eleutheropolis (K. 18:12) and could be considered in the East Quadrant.

It could refer to a second village with the same name in the Negev.

Cf. previous entry Ziph. Region or hill country nearby are intended (cf. I Samuel 26:2and I Chronicles 2:42.
