Tah'penes (Heb. Tachpeneys', CI SHri, evidently of Egyptian origin, bnt uncertain in its sigiiitication [see Tahpanhes] ; Sept. ti^Ktrpeviji; v. r. SeKt^iira; Vnlg. Tuphm-s), a proper name of an Egyptian queen. She was wife of the Pharaoh who received Hadail the Edomite, and who gave him her sister in marriage (1 Kings xi, 18-20). B.C. cir. 1000. In the Sept. the lat- ter is called the elder sister of Thekemina, and in the addition to eh. xii Shishak (Susakim) is said to have given Ano, the elder sister of Thekemina his wife, to Jeroboam. It is obvious that this and the earlier state- ment are irreconcilable, even if the evidence from the probable repetition of an elder sister be set aside, and it is scarcely necessary to add that the name of Shi- shak's chief or only wife, Karaiimat, does not support the Sept. addition. See Shisuak. There is therefore but one Tahpenes or Thekemina. At the time to which the narrative refers there were jjrobably two, if not three, lines ruling in Egypt— the Tanites of the twenty-first dynasty in the lower countrj'; the high-priest kings at Thebes, but possibly they were of the same line ; and perhaps one of the l&it faineants of the Kameses family. To the Tanitic line, as apparent!}' then the most pow- erful, and as holding the territory nearest Palestine, the Pharaoh in question, as well as the father-in-law of Sol- omon, probably belonged. If Manetho's list be correct, lie may be conjectured to have been Psusennes. See Phaiiaoh, 9. No name that has any near resemblance to either Tahpenes or Thekemina has yet been found among those of the period (see Lepsius, Koniysbucli). — Smith.
Tah'rea (Heb. Tachi'e' d,V'^iTVri, cunning [Gesenius], or fiiyht [Fiirst] ; Sept. i^apa v. r. (iapdx ; Vulg. Tha- ?•««), third named of the four sons of Micah, Jonathan's grandson (1 Chron. ix, 41) ; called in the parallel pas- sage (viii, 35) Tarea (q. v.). B.C. post 1037.
Tah'tim-Hod'shi {Heh.Tuchtim' Choclshi',W't^'n'jr\ ■^w^"in. lit. hitrlands my month; Sept. Qa(3affiov // trrnv Na/3a(Toi v. r. t^aiov aCatrai; Vulg. inferiora Ilodsi), a region (y'^X, "land") mentioned as one of the places visited by Joab during his census of the land of Israel, between Gilead ami Dan-jaan (2 Sam. xxiv, 6). Fiirst t^Handicorterh. i, 380) proposes to separate the " Land of the Tachtim" from "Hodshi," and to read the latter as liarshi — the people of Harosheth (comp. Judg. \y, 2). Thenius restores the text of the Sept. to read " the Land of Bashan, which is Edrei." This in itself is fea- sible, although it is certainly very difficult to connect it with the Hebrew. Ewald (Gesch. iii, 207) proposes to read Herman for Hodshi; and Gesenius (Thesaiir. p. 450 a) dismisses the passage with a vix j»o sano haben- dum. There is a district called the A i-d et-Tahta, to the east-northeast of Damascus, which recalls the old name — but there is nothing to show that anj' Israelite was living so far from the Holy Land in the time of David. — Smith. It seems probable from the connection that the whole is a proper name, descriptive, however, of the physical aspect of the region to which it was given. The route taken by the king's messengers \vas first east- ward to ]\Ioab; then nortlnvard through Gilead; then from Gilead to "the land of Tahtim-Hodshi," to Dan- jaan and Zidon. " The land of Tahtim-Hodshi" was thus manifestly a section of the upper valley of the Jor- dan, probably that now called Ard el-fJuleh, lying deep down at the western base of Hermon. — Kitto.
Taitazak or Taytazak, Joseph, a Spanish Jew, belonged to those 300,1)00 exiles who had to leave their country in 1492. With his father and brothers, he set- tled at Salonica, where he wrote vjDT^ r~1S, " the fruitful bough of Joseph" (after Gen. xlix, 22), a com-
mentary on Ecclesiastes, in a homiletico-philosophical style (Venice, 1599): — ^-pn u;"!-iS r:ip, i. e. ex- cerpts from his commentary on tlie Psalms, published witli Penini's work, SnTH "(' — 5, "the tongues of gold" (ibid. 1599). The MS. of his complete commentarj* on the Psalms is to be found in the libraries of Paris and Oxford: — D^IHO oriP, "the bread of sacredness," in allusion to Prov. ix, 17; a commentarj- on Daniel and the five Megilloth, viz. the Song of Songs, liutb. Lam- entations, Ecclesiastes, and Estlier (ibid. lOOM). In its present form this work only contains fragments of Tai- tazak's commentaries on three books, and MSS. of the entire commentaries are still extant: — 21"^X T1X3, a commentary on Job, extant : — mf 1 B'^pOS, i. e. ques- tions and decisions (ibid. 1622).

Tajus, Samuel, bishop of Saragossa, lived in the 7th century. In the year (546 he went to Kome at the command of king Chindaswinth, and with the sanction of the seventh Council of Toledo, for the sake of bring- ing back the long-missed Expositio in lliobum $. Mora- Hum, lib. XXXV, of Gregory I. According to tradition, he was shown in a vision the place where it was hid- den. Tajus was also present at the eighth and ninth councils of Toledo. Besides an Epistola ad Eiigenium Toktunum episcojmm, he also wrote Sententiarum lib. v (Migne, Patrol, vol. Ixxx), containing extracts from Gregory's work on (</) God, creation, creature, govern- ment of the world; (6) incarnation, Church, Church government; (r) moral life, virtues; ((/) sins and vices; (*) sinners, prince of this world. Antichrist, judgment, condemnation. Wherever Gregory failed him, he sup- plied his work from Augustine's writings. The work is preceded \>y a Prcefacio ad Qiiiricwn Barcinonensem Episcojnnn, to whom the work is dedicated, together with the Responsio Quii-ici.
