Simple biblical notation. In Hebrew Questions Jerome says "Cades is a place near Petra called the spring of judgment where God judged the people" (18).
580. Kadēa Barnē. Numbers 32:8; K. 112:8; L. 270:4.
Textual variant city of Palestinē (Greek) instead of Arabia. This reflects again the uncertainty of editorial additions and of the use of Arabia in the Onomasticon (K. 110:27). Latin combines K. 112:7 and K. 112:8. Some confusion in order of this and the next three entries.
A summary of biblical information from Numbers 21:1, 11; Numbers 27:14 and Genesis 14:7. A tomb tradition is here. No location is given other than near Petra (K. 142:7). Procopius repeats the entry in 332D and 1021D. It also is reaffirmed by Jerome in Commentary on Ezekiel 38:23(cf. K. 46:26).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Cades, holy or change" (63); "Cades, alteration or holy" (80); "Cadesbarne, selected change or changeableness" (80).
581. Kenaz. Genesis 36:11; K. 112:13; L. 270:9.
Simple biblical notation. In Hebrew Questions (44) Jerome equated Theman (K. 96:18), Cenaz, Amalec (K. 16:5) with Idumaia (K. 46:11).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Cenez, jealous or his possession" (63).
582. Kariathaeim. Numbers 32:37; K. 112:14; L. 270:10.
Textual variants: Kariathieim (Greek). For contemporary site Coroiath and Eoraiatat (Latin).
Another wholly Christian town (cf. K. 26:14) is located west of Madaba and probably indicates Kh el Qureiyat which is near the hot springs of Barē (cf. K. 44:22). Mileage indicates turn off from main Roman highway. Must be distinct from Kariathiareim of Jerusalem (K. 14:23).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Cariathaim, towns or their city (oppidum)" (80).
583. Kariatharbo. Genesis 23:2; K. 112:18; L. 270:14.
Textual variants: Kariathirbo (Greek) and Ceriath arbeae (Latin).
Etymological information and identification with Chebrōn (K. 6:8 and K. 170:25). It is out of regular order and probably suspect as addition. See all three entries above.
584. Kanath. Numbers 32:42; K. 112:20; L. 270:15.
Vatican manuscript is incomplete here. Textual variants: Cannatha and Chanatha (Latin).
Summary of biblical information and generalized location. The village is probably el Kanawat and along with Damascus and Bostra forms the eastern limit of the Onomasticon . In Tabula Peutinger it is 20 Miles from Bostra.
Onomasticon confused Nabo (Numbers 32:42) and Naboth (Numbers 32:3, 78 and K. 136:6, 9) and perhaps is too far northeast for the biblical site. The Syriac has this "near Petra" which is an attempted correction getting nearer to Kerak.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Canath, striving after or zealous" (80).
585. Kata ta Krusea (Catatachrysea, i.e. to gold). Deuteronomy 1:1; K. 114:1; L. 270:19.
Vatican manuscript adds "Deuteronomy" division marker here.
The LXX and Vulgate translate the biblical Dizahab. The area is located by the Onomasticon as near Phainon (K. 81:16 and K. 168:8) in the Arabah (K.12:25) somewhere near Aqabah (cf. Deuteronomy 1:5 and Numbers 33:42). Perhaps Umm el Dahab which retains the sound and etymology. The mines were worked in Roman-Byzantine times as well as earlier. Smelters also in later era.
586. Kadēmōth. Deuteronomy 2:26; K. 114:5; L. 270:23.
Simple biblical summary (cf. K. 114:10 below).
