Lieut. Conder regards this as as different place from the simple KIRJATH, andwas inclined at first to locate it at Soba (Tent Work, 1:22), but finally at Khurbet Erma, two and a quarter milessouth of Chesalon or Kesla (Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey, 3:46 sq., where he argues the question at length); but most geographers still incline to the position at Kuryet Enab (or simply el-Kuryet), a full description of the archaeology of which is given in the same Memoirs (3:132 sq.).
