Meah
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
Tower near the sheep-gate of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 3:1, 12:39). The rendering of the Greek version, "the tower of the hundred," might be interpreted to mean that the tower either was garrisoned by one hundred men, or was one hundred cubits high, or had one hundred steps.
