In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Ieraon, they will fear" (95).

564. Iethlan (Iethlam). Joshua 19:42; K. 110:7; L. 269:78.

Jethela (Vulgate) Seilatha (LXX).

Simple tribal listing.

567. 'Ierakō (Ieracon). Joshua 19:46; K. 110:10; L. 269:80.

Some take "waters" me ( mai ) as the first syllable of a proper name.

Simple tribal listing. This may be the same as K. 96:3, but the Greek may have conflated or confused two Hebrew place names. LXX has "sea of Ierakōn with border near Ioppē." The words border and mountain are quite similar in Greek and Hebrew for mountain is har which could be found in MT harakkon .

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Ieracon, yellowish which Greeks call jaundiced" (95).

568. Iabeis Galaad. Judges 21:8; K. 110:11; L. 269:81.

In K. 32:6 Iabis is a large city, but a village of Iabeis here. Procopius 1049A has the distance 20 from Pella (K. 14:19) and 60 from Gerasa (K. 64:2) which are obviously wrong unless the milestones were taken from other referents than those now in our text.

The name continues in the Wadi Yabis . Onomasticon seems to point to Kir Isna or nearby Deir el Halaweh , with the former a Roman-Byzantine site to be preferred. This is not necessarily the identification of the biblical site, which may be Tell Maqlub .

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Iabes, dry or dryness" (100).

569. Iaar. I Samuel 14:25; K. 110:15; L. 269:86.

The etymology is in the LXX. This is not a proper name in the MT.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Iaare, salt" (108).

570. 'Ieramēlei. I Samuel 30:29; K. 110:16; L. n/a; Lacuna in Greek Text.

This entry is missing in Greek Vatican manuscript and out of order in Latin. Jerome transliterates rather than translates the "foreigners."

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Ierameheli, God have mercy on me" (104).

571. Iether. I Samuel 30:26; K. 110:17; L. 269:87.
