The associated names only afford a conjectural position somewhere in the district west of Jerusalem, possibly at el-Kustul (Lat. castellum), on a conical hill about half way between Kuloniyeh (Lat. colonia) and Soba (Robinson, Researches, 2, 328). </p>

This place lies one and a half miles north of el-Jib (Gibeon), and is thus described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (3:13, also 155): "A small hamlet on a ridge, with a spring to the west, and many rock-cut tombs....
