(Heb. Tel-me'lach, תֵּלאּמֵלִח , Salt Hill; Sept. Θελμελέχ and Θελμελέθ , v.r. Θελμεχέλ and Θερμελεθα ; Vulg. Thelmala) is joined with Tel-harsa and Cherub as the name of a place where the Jews returned who had lost their pedigree after the Captivity ( Ezra 2:59; Nehemiah 3:61). It is perhaps the Thelme of Ptolemy (5, 20), which some wrongly read as Theane ( Θεαμη for Θελμη ), a city of the low salt tract near the Persian ‘ Gulf,' whence probably the name (Gesen. Lex. Heb. s.v.). Cherub, which may be pretty surely identified with Ptolemy's Chiripha ( Χιριφά ), was in the same region. Herzfeld (Gesch. Tsr. 1, 452) insists that it designates the province of Melitene according to Ptolemy (6,3), adjoining Susiana west of the Tigris; but Ptolemy (5, 7, 5) and Pliny (6, 3) know only a Melitene on the border of Cappadocia and Armenia Major.
