Conder proposes Khurbet Wady ‛Alı̂n , which is an ancient site, evidently of great strength and importance, lying between Kḣ ‛Ain Shems and the village of Deir Aban . The ruins crown a lofty and almost isolated hill; the greatest objection to the identification is that there is no fountain at all in the immediate neighborhood. There may have been one in earlier times. See PEF , III, 128.
