Cf. K. 86:16.
484. Ēmath. II Samuel 8:9; K. 96:12; L. 264:90.
Another instance of transliteration by Latin of "foreigners" (cf. K. 88:20 and Jeremiah 49:23).
485. Ēnan. Ezekiel 47:17, 19; K. 96:14; L. 264:92.
Out of the Holy Land proper for the Onomasticon but part of the Promised Land boundary in Ezechiēl. The reference to Thamar is perhaps properly K. 8:6 with the same prefixed Hazar (cf. K. 14:16). For Thaiman see next entry (K. 96:18 and K. 102:7)
The city of Palm Trees is probably Palmyra (K. 100:21) northeast of Damascus (Latin variant has Palmetis). But Jericho also was called by this descriptive phrase (K. 104:25).
486. Thaiman (Theman). Genesis 36:11; K. 96:18; L. 264:96.
Summary of biblical information of Job 2:11 and Genesis 25:15.
The village Thafman may be in the same region as that of the princes of Edom (cf. K. 102:7). The distance of 25 miles brings us to Shobek which is 22 miles from Petra. Often thought to be at Tawilan but recent excavation has Iron through Hellenistic remains there and no Roman-Byzantine. The southern region in Hebrew is also called Daroma (K. 26:1); Negeb (K. 136:14) (see Jerome on K. 137:15 and Interpretation of Hebrew Names 44). If this is Thamana the garrison is verified by Notitia Dignitatum (74:46). In Tabula Peutinger Theman. Perhaps the 15 and 5 of the Greek and Latin texts respectively are both scribal errors.
487. Thamna. Genesis 38:12; K. 96:24; L. 264:3.
Simple biblical note of Joshua 19:43 and 15:57
The Madaba map seems to be quoting Eusebius, "Thamna where Ioudas sheared his sheep." It is a village dependent on Diospolis (K. 8:14) and one of three villages called "great" (cf. Apbeka K. 22:20 and Magdiēl 130:21). The biblical site has been held to be Kh Tibnē bur some claim to find no Israelite remains so Tell Batashi has been suggested. Kh Tibnah which retains the name has Roman-Byzantine remains and is southeast, that is in the Southern Quadrant from Diospolis and could approximate the location on the crowded map. Others on basis of K. 8:13 and K. 24:5 suggest it is northeast of Diospolis near Remphis (K. 144:28) and Aenam (K. 9:11 etc. cp. K. 70:20 and K. 100:1). Three sites combined in one place.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Thanna, forbidding or failing" (73).
488. Thamna. Genesis 36:40; K. 96:27; L. 264:6.
Biblical summary of Genesis 36:12. "Another" is out of order and a late addition.
Cf. Thaiman as a son of Esau in K. 96:19.
489. Thophol (Thafol). Deuteronomy 1:1; K. 98:2; L. n/a; Lacuna in Greek Text.
The next three entries are missing in the Vatican Manuscript. This is also the only place where the section heading records "Deuteronomy" by itself rather than all under Pentateuch, or under Numbers. Here entries from Numbers follow one from Deuteronomy and may all be an editorial insertion.
