Culon <ref name="term_35751" />
<p> ( '''''Κουλόν''''' v. r. '''''Κουλόμ''''' , [[Jerome]] ''Caulon'' ), the fifth named of the group of eleven cities added by the [[Septuagint]] to those in the mountains of Judah (between ver. 59 and 60 of &nbsp;Joshua 15:59-60); thought to be the modern ''Kulonieh'' , a trace of which appears in the notice of the [[Crusades]] (Wilken, ''Gesch. Der Kreuz'' . 4:509), a village with ruins about 1 1/2 h.W. of [[Jerusalem]] towards Jaffa (Van de Velde, ''Memoir'' , p. 305); but, as this lay beyond the border of Judah (Schwarz, ''Palest.'' p. 118), the authenticity of the names in the Sept. being, moreover, dubious (Wilson, ''Bible Lands,'' 2:266 n.), the place perhaps only represents some station or Colonia of the Romans (Robinson, Later Res. p. 158). </p>
