iv. Veksions.— The LXX text of Dn has been preserved only in one MS, Codex Chisianua, which cannot be older than the 9th cent., and is perhaps much later (Bevan). In place of the LXX the Greek VS of Theodotion was used (even by Irenaeus, + 202). There is no Targ. on Daniel. The follow- Ing diagram (from Behrmanu, p. xxx) shows ten- tatively the relation of the VSS to the original text and to each other : —

DAN-JAAN. — Joab and his officers in taking the census came ' to Dan-jaan and round about to Zidon ' (j'lTi-Vx 3';di [i;; nj^), 2 S 24». No such place is mentioned anywhere else in OT, and it is generally assumed that the text is corrupt. It has indeed been proposed to locate Dan-jaan at a ruin N. of Achzib which is said to bear the name Khan Ddnidn ; but this identification, although accepted by Conder, has not made headway. The reference is more ])robaljly to the city of Dan which appears so frequently as the northern limit of the kingdom. Tliree leading emendations of the text have been proposed. (1) Wellhausen (Sam. adloc.) instead of tlie MT J'jj; IK would read 1355 pc) ('They came to "Da-n) and from Dan they went about.' This is accepted by Driver (Sam. ad loc, cf. Deut. p. 421), Budde (in Haupt's OT), Kittel (in Kautzsch's A T). (2) Klostermann would read 120;! I'i,'l . . . ' and to Ijon and they went about.' Ijon and Dan are associated in 1 K IS-"" (cf. 2 K 15-"). (3) Gesenius would change |y: into iv: . . . 'to Dan in t/ie wood' (cf. Vulg. silvcstria). After els ^i.v LXX reads, B B/5di' ital OiSiv, A 'lopiK Kal'loviiv. This does not help us much, but Wellh. points out that it indicates at least that the translators found p twice in their text and had a verb in place of s-sdi. J. A. Selbie.
DANNAH (nn), Jos 15*». — A town of Judah mentioned next to Debir and Socoh. It was clearly in the mountains S.W. of Hebron, probably the present Idhnnh. This place is noticed in the 4th cent. A.D. (Onvmnaticon, s.v. ,)ediia) as six Honian miles from lileutheropolis (licit Jibrin). It is now a small village on the W. slopes. See SWP, vol. iii. sheet xxi. LXX has Peffd. C. R. Conder.
DAPHNE (Ad(/>»7;). — A place mentioned in 2 Mac 4'* to which Onias withdrew for refuge, but from which he was decoyed by Andronicus and treacher- ously slain. Its site, which has been identilied with the mod. Beit el-MA, or House of Waters, is placed by Strain) und the ,Jerus. Itinerary at a distance of 40 stadia, or about 5 miles, from Antioch. This grove, which owed its establish- ment to Seleucus Nikator, was famous for its fountains, ita temple in honour of Apollo and Diana, its oracle, and its right of asylum.
