(Heb. Kartan', קִרְתָּן , Double City, an old dual from קֶרֶת ; Sept. Καρθάν v. r. Θεμμών and Νοεμμών ), a town of Naphtali, assigned to the Gershonite Levites, and appointed to be one of the cities of refuge ( Joshua 21:32). In the parallel passage ( 1 Chronicles 6:76) it is called by the equivalent name of KIRJATHAIM. The associated names suggest the probability of some locality near the north-western shore of the Sea of Tiberias, perhaps the ruined village marked as el-Katanah on Van de Velde's map, on wady Furam, about midway between Lake Tiberias and the Huleh.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [8]

kar´tan ( קרתּן , ḳartān ): A city in the territory of Naphtali, given to the Gershonite Levites (  Joshua 21:32 ). It is called Kiriathaim in  1 Chronicles 6:76 . Kartan may be a contraction of this. Cheyne ( EB , under the word) suggests that both names may be corruptions from "Chinnereth." Neither is mentioned in  Joshua 19:32 ,  Joshua 19:38 , in the list of Naphtalite cities, while Chinnereth is.
