Khirbet el-Musherife/Mishrefe and "Shivta Camp"

[edit]
Subeita in 1944

Hi @Arminden: thank you for your edit[1] adding the alternative names here. Per the map to the right, I think Khirbet el-Musherife/Mishrefe is about 5km north of Shivta, at an IDF base known as "Shivta Camp". Onceinawhile (talk) 13:48, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Onceinawhile: you're absolutely right, sorry. The description (Byzantine rectangular fortress on a hill with a chapel, agricultural terraces, closely related Hebrew name –Mitzpe Shivta = 'Shivta Lookout'–, etc.) made me overlook the fact that it's not the same place. I'll fix it right away. Thanks, Arminden (talk) 20:10, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
