IBL-ÂAMU or IBL-Â (with determinative of water). Ibleam (Josh. xvii. 11,  written Bileam in 1 Chr. vi. 70).
KNTUASNA. Read Gantu-Asna, “the Gath” or “winepress of Asna.” Maspero points out that Asna is the name of a man, as in Ezra ii. 50. Perhaps En-gannim, Josh. xix. 21, the Ginæa of Josephus, now Jenîn.1 See Nos. 63, 96.
RTU-ÂR-QA, RTU-MAR-QA.2  Maspero first proposed el-’Arrâqeh, 6 miles west of Jenîn, but has since suggested Ludd, a little to the north of Lejjûn.
ÂINA. The “spring.” Compare Khurbet ’Anîn, near el-’Arrâqeh.
ÂAK‡. Also mentioned by Ramses II. after Alashiya and before the countries of Zarmâith and Pahil (No. 33). Akku in Assyrian, Accho in Hebrew (Judg. i. 31), now Acre.
RSHQADSH. Maspero reads Rosh-Qodshu, “the sacred headland” of Carmel.

ÂPL—(with determinative). Ophel, now el-Fûleh, according to Conder.
ÂPL—(with determinative).  El-’Affûleh, 1 mile west of el-Fûleh, according to Conder. [I should read Âpr in both cases, and identify with Haphraim; “the two Haphars,” of Josh. xix. 19.—ED.]
KH-SHBU. [The Khasabu of the Tel el-Amarna tablets; W. iii. 160.—ED.]
TASUL-T. [The Tusulti of the Tel el-Amarna tablets. Possibly in Josh. xix. 18 we should read Tesulloth instead of Chesulloth.—ED.]
