Textual variant Thōdlad (Greek).
Simple tribal listing (Joshua 19:4 and cf. K. 86:7 above). Perhaps out of order.
501. Thabōr. Joshua 19:22; K. 98:23; L. 265:27.
This mountain is out of order so is suspect as a later editorial addition even if it were a town (cf. K. 118:8 and K. 150:14). All the traditions point to the same as Mt.Itabyrium in the Greek Fathers (110:20). Jerome in Commentary on Hosea 5:1 writes, "Thabor which the LXX interprets Itaburion" a mountain in the plain in Galilaea, "very round and high with all sides equal" (cf. Joshua 19:34). There is some evidence of a late fourth century church on Mt.Tabor. Procopius 1049A quotes our text accurately. Jerome's Epistle 108:13 (Paula Migne PL 22, 889) notes that Paula could see Aermon from here. There and in Epistle 108:13 (Paula, Migne PL 22:491) Jerome remarks on the tradition of the Transfiguration. But Eusebius and Origen are not yet sure which of the two mountains is the Mt. of Transfiguration.
For Diokaisareia see K. 16:13.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Thabor, coming light" (98).
502. Thalcha. Joshua 19:7; K. 98:26; L. 265:30.
Simple tribal listing together with note on contemporary Jewish town (cf. Note on K. 22:9 and Appendix II) which fits the evidence for Kh or Tell Khuweilife . In Jerome K. 99:27 one variant has "east" instead of "south," but quadrant is acceptable (cf. Sikelak , 156:1).
For Eleutheropolis see K. 18:2.
503. Thamnathsara. Joshua 19:50; K. 100:1; L. 265:33.
Summary of biblical information of Joshua 19:43. Probably equated with Thanna (K. 70:20) where the tomb is also mentioned (cf. K. 96:24).Paula remarks on "one who is buried in Thamnathsare on the north side of Mt. Gaas" in Jerome's Epistle 103:13 ( PPT I, 12). Now identified with Tibne .
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Thamnathsare, measure of a cover" (98) and "Thamnathares, enumeration of the sun" (101).
504. Thalassa. Joshua 18:19; K. 100:4; L. 265:36.
Out of order and not a place name but a sea and so suspect as late editorial addition. On Madaba map the three names all appear: Salt, Asphalt and Dead. In Jerome's Commentary on Ezekiel 47:6 "Bitter sea which in Greek is called AsphaltLake, i.e. pool of bitumen." Both lakes come at end of sections (cp. K. 172:12).
On Zoara see K. 42:1 above.
505. Thaanach. Judges 1:27; K. 100:7; L. 265:39.
Cf. K. 98:10 above where the distance is 4 miles. Procopius 1061A quotes this entry here accurately except for the name Thennach (cp. Judges 5:19 and Joshua 21:25).
506. Thēbēs. Judges 9:50; K. 100:11; L. 265:44.
Summary of biblical information of Judges 9:53.
A village dependent upon Neapolis (K. 4:28). In Old Testament times a "city." This is an accurate location from milestones which have been found. It is at modern Tubas .
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Thebes, a turning around or having an egg" (101) and "Thebes, they were in it or my deed" (109).
507. Thamnatha. Judges 14:1; K. 100:15; L. 265:49.
Textual variant Thamnam (Latin) (see above K. 96:24 and K. 100:2).
508. Thēlamou land of (Thelamuge). II Samuel 3:12; K. 100:17; L. 265:51.
Simple biblical notation with Hexaplaric information. A name only in LXX.
