One of the six cities of Judah in the "wilderness" (midbar; Joshua 15:61, including the waste on the upper level, the cliffs, and shore of the lake).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [7]
mid´in ( מדּין , middı̄n ; in Gb , Αἰνών , Ainṓn , "springs"): One of the six cities in the wilderness of Judah ( Joshua 15:61 ). There are not many possible sites. The Hebrew name may possibly survive in Khirbet Mird , a very conspicuous site with many ancient cisterns overlooking the plateau el Bukea‛ , above which it towers to a height of 1,000 ft.; it is the Mons Mardes of early Christian pilgrims; the existing remains are Byzantine. It is a site of great natural strength and was clearly once a place of some importance. The Greek reading Ainōn , "place of springs," suggests the neighborhood of the extensive oasis of ‛Ain Feshkhah at the northwest corner of the Dead Sea where there are at Kh . Kumrâm remains of buildings and a rock-cut aqueduct. See PEF , III, 210, 212, Sh Xviii .
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [8]
(Heb. Middin', מַדַּין , distaznce; Sept. Μαδδίν v.r. Μαδών), a town in the desert of Judah, mentioned between Beth-arabah and Secacah (Joshua 15:61); and probably situated not far from the Dead Sea, about opposite its middle, or possibly at the ruins near a well marked on Van de Velde's Map as Khan Mardeh, near the north end of the Dead Sea. "By Van de Velde (Memoir, page 256, and Map) mention is made of a valley on the south-western side of the Dead Sea, below Masada, called Urn el- Bedun, which may contain a trace of the ancient name."
