623. Kariōth. Jeremiah 48:24, 41; K. 120:1; L. 272:95.
Simple biblical notation.
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Carioth, meeting of signs" (126).
624. Kapharnaoum. Matthew 4:13; K. 120:2; L. 272:96.
No special section in this listing for New Testament text. This is an "oppidum" in Jerome (see Appendix I). Localization is general because in Eusebius' time this city at Tell Hum was flourishing. It was two miles from Chōrazein (K. 174:25). There is debate as to whether the New Testament site was here. Paula and the pilgrims visited this site ( Epistle 108; PPT I, 16; Epistle 46 and Migne PL 22, 491).
Here ends our reading for the letter C i.e. the Greek Kappa the rest are under the letter Chi , which has aspiration in itself and of which there is very little use in Latin. At the end of this alphabetic section Jerome adds another of his linguistic notes differentiating Greek and Hebrew letters and pronunciation.
625. Lasan. Genesis 10:19; K. 120:7; L. 272:1.
Simple biblical location.
Jerome in Hebrew Questions has "Lece which is not Callirhoe where the hot water pours out and flows into the dead sea" (14).
In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Lesa, in salt" (68).
626. Louza (Luza). Genesis 28:19; K. 120:8; L. 272:2.
Textual variant Louzan (Greek).
General directions for Baithel-Louza are correct (K. 40:20ff and cf. Joshua 18:13). The road described in opposite direction in K. 40:20. Site is east and off the main road.
627. Louza (Luza). Judges 1:23; K. 120:11; L. 272:5.
This "another" entry is out of order as frequently appears and seems to be a marginal gloss on the previous entry which has been incorporated into the text by a later scribe. The Onomasticon confuses a contemporary, continuing city with the above. The Greek has 9 miles and the Latin 3 miles from Neapolis (K. 4:28). The Latin is probably correct for Luza on Mt.Garisim still known as Kh al-loze . The 9 miles northeast may point to at talluza .
628. Lōtan. Genesis 36:20; K. 120:13; L. 272:7.
Textual variant Lōtam (Greek).
Possibly a name of a person has been confused with a place.
