Simple biblical information.
Another of the many biblical Mizpeh's (cf. K. 128:1 and K. 130:1,15).
701. Masereth. I Samuel 23:14; K. 132:11; L. 276:54.
Biblical information plus Hexaplaric.
It is deserted in the 4th century according to the Latin. Greek may suggest biblical "wilderness."
702. Masbak. II Samuel 8:8; K. 132:13; L. 276:56.
The MT is confused but the Greek again seems to have used the Hebrew M "from" as part of the proper name. LXX has Masbach.
703. Mela (i.e.,) Gemela. II Samuel 8:13; K. 132:14; L. 276:57.
Textual variants: Malagēmala, Mala ē Gēmala (Greek), Latin has "valley of salts."
Hexaplaric information only (cf. K. 72:28).
704. Maacha. II Samuel 10:6; K. 132:15; L. 276:58.
Textual variant Malaka (Greek).
The text is confused in MT and LXX. It seems as if a personal name has been made into a place name.
705. Mōdeeim. I Maccabees 2:1; K. 132:16; L. 276:59.
Out of the order of the text. Madaba map has "Mōdeeim which is now Mōditha home of the Makkabai" located east of Diospolis (K. 8:14). This location fits el Midjeh . The interest in graves is high in our text but possibly not with the original text of Eusebius. The Madaba map alternate name is a late Aramaic name for this most significant site.
706. Mapsar Turou. II Samuel 24:7; K. 132:18; L. 276:61.
Textual variants are many and so are suggested emendations.
Hexaplaric information. It is the Fort of Tyre (K. 162:15).
707. Masa. I Kings 2:35 and I Kings 9:15; K. 132:20; L. 277:63.
Textual variants: Magaō and Magdō (Greek).
Simple biblical notation. Difficult to relate this to Megiddo in its present form (cp. K. 128:14). Possibly relates to Hazor (K. 34:18 and K. 90:9).
708. Meebra. I Kings 4:12; K. 132:21; L. 277:64.
Hexaplaric information. Perhaps emend to Meeber. A gloss.
709. Makes. I Kings 4:9; K. 132:22; L. 277:65.
Simple biblical notation.
