modem MVtdy Ifanah, the channel of a small stream rising near NAblus (Shechem), is regarded by Conder as representing the ancient ^anab (Hnnilhiiuk to the Bible, 263); but Thomson (/,«nd nnd Buok, 'Southern Pal.,' 56) considers that this tributary of the 'Anjch would put the boundary too far to the south (so also DiUmann). In con- nexion with the brook J^anah a dilliculty arises in locating the Me-jarkon and Kakkon (Jos 19*"), if these tliree under ditierent names are all repre- sented by ihe'Aujeli immediately to the north of Jaffa. I'he discovery of TcU Kakkeit near the mouth of the 'Aujch makes the sujiposition not impossible that Me-jarkon and lijikkon were names of that river after being joined b}- the brook ttanah. AH the streams crossing the northern half of the plain of Sharon are reedy and discoloured. Thomson is in favour of the Fulik as representing l>!anah, and its di\ided mouth would account for the two names Me-jarkon and Kakkon. Farther north, on each side of Ciesarea, are two streams that suggest the Bible names mentioned, namely, el-Akhdar (Yellow lliver) and cl-Azrak (Blue lliver). These streams would give Dan the coast-line up to Dora, and coincide with the terri- tory assigned to that tribe by Josephus {Ant. V. i. 21).
2. A town on the northern boundary of Asher (Jos 19 *). The Engli-sh reader must be careful to distinguish it from Cana of (Jalilee (wh. see). It is very probably the modern Knna, a considerable \-ilIage lying a few miles S. E. of Tyre (cf. Kobinson, BRP- ii. 456 : Gu6rin, GuliUe, ii. 39u f. ; Baedeker- Socin, /*«/.' 262 f.). In its neighbourhood there is a large Phoenician sepulchral monument known as ' Iliraiii's Tomb' (PEF Mem. i. 61). I^Canah is possiblj' referred to in the journej' of the Egyi)tian luohar in the time of Ramses II. under the name Pa-Kana-na. G. M. Mackib.
KASEAH (n-iB ' bald '). — Father of Johanan, who was a Judxan contemporary of Jeremiah, and one of the captains of the lorces in the open held who escaped the deportation to Babylon at the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadrezzar ( 2 K 25'=', Jer 40"- »• '« 42'- « 4.J-'-»). In Jer 4t)» MT reads ' Johanan and Jonathan, sons of Kareah,' buthero LXX (47") makesmentionouly of Johanan, as in the other pa.ssa^es above cited. Probably therefore JW" in MT is due merely to mistaken repetition of \;-y. C. F. Buk.nev.

KATTATII
KEDAR
KATTATH (r=p, B KarafdO, A Karrde, Luc. KorrdC). — A cit V of Zebulun, Jos 19'-', perliaps to be identilied with ^artah (\vh. see) or with Kitron (wh. oee) of J{; l"", a place from which the Zebulunites were unable to expel the Canaanites. The site is unknown. Van de Velde suggcst-i Tell fCcrdaneh, N.E. of yaifa, at the source of the Nahr Na'ainan. According to the Talm. (Bub. Mcgillah 6a) ^Citron is tlie later Sepi>horis (SejTurieh). This is opposed by Nuubauer [Ueog. du Talm. 191).

KEDAR (TIB, K-ijSdp).— The name of Ishmael's becond son (Gn 25'' = 1 Ch 1="). 'The earliest reference to Kedar of which the date is certain is Jer 2"" (Cheyne, Inlrod. to Isaiah, p. 131), where Kedar is made the type of a distant and barbarous tribe, being theie coupled with Citium lis it is with Meshech in I's 120°. Tlie import of the name is better known to the author of Jer 49^, where Kedar is identified with the BCnfi- tedeni, and their nomad life, with their sheep and camels, tents, curtains, and belongings, is de- scribed ; by Ezekiel (27-') they are coupled with ' Arab,' and described as tracing with Tyre in cattle ; and the author of the second part of Isaiah couples them with Nebaioth (60'), alludes to their pursuit of sheep-breeding (ii.), and to their unwalled settlements (42"). In Ca 1° the tents of Kedar are made typical of blackness, >^-ith perhaps an allusion to the Hebrew sense of the root "lip, ' to be turbid or black.'
While the name Kedar is unknown to Arabic traditions, it is said to be preserved in some Minaan inscrijitions (Glaser, Skizze, ii. p. 439), and is kno\\'n in various forms to the Greek geo- grajihers, who, indeed, locate the tribe very dif- ferently (the passages are collected b3' Gesenius, I'hes. S.I.). Our chief source of information about it is to be found in the inscriptions of Assur- banipal (George Smith, History of As^urbanipal, ip. 256-298 ; S. A. Smith, Keilschrifttexte Ass^ir- anipaVs, i. 58-75 ; Cuneiform Inscriptions of IV. A «'«, iii. plates 24-28, v. plates 7-10). The land of ^i-id-ri (G. Smith, p. 283), Jpa-ad-ri (ib. p. 290), or Ki-id-ri (S. A. Smith, p. 60), and the people called Kid-ra-ai (G. Smith, p. 271), have been justly identified with Kedar by G. Smith an'i. all who have commented on this king's annals (Delitzsch,Pararfj&j, p. 299 ; Glaser, Skizze, ii. 267- 274, etc.), as being mentioned in close jiroximity to A -ri-bi (the Arab) and Na-ba-ai-te (Nebaioth). and described as possessors of ' asses, camels, and sheep ' (S. A. Smith, I.e. p. 67) ; moreover, some people mentioned with them are, according to one interpretation of a difficult word, described as 'dwellers in tents' (S. A. Smith, I.e. p. 103).
