It has been identified with the sedgy "streams that constitute the Wady Talaik, which enters the sea" between Joppa and Caesarea. Others identify it with the river' Aujeh. "(2.) A town in the north of Asher (Josh. 19:28). It has been "identified with `Ain-Kana, a village on the brow of a valley" some 7 miles south-east of Tyre.
