Is it a mountain? Is it a hill? No! It's ...

[edit]

Please tell us what it is! Is it a mountain? A hill? A river? "It was located" is not helpful if we don't know what kind of (presumably geographic) feature it describes. --Improv 07:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Location

[edit]

Quote: "and about 100 km north of Hebron"
Wouldn't that make it 70 km North of Jerusalem? Maikel (talk) 09:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed location

[edit]

The article was messed up. It contradicted itself.

"...was a city located at north of Shechem, and about 100 km north of Hebron. (correct)
"It was known to Eusebius, who places it 12 miles to the north of Sebaste." (correct)
"It is identified with the modern Tell-Dothan, on the south side of the plain of Jezreel, among the hills of Gilboa." (incorrect, inconsistent) (based on a book by Edward Robinson from 1860, yes, 1 8 6 0)

I have edited the article to agree with modern archeological scholarship with references and have inserted map coordinates. I didn't think that Robinson's 150 year old mistaken location needed to remain in the article. --@Efrat (talk) 06:50, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
