Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Tephon . One of the towns in Judæa fortified by Bacchides ( 1Ma 9:50 ). Tephon was probably an old Tappuah ; but whether it was Tappuah 1 or 2 , or Bethtappuah, is uncertain.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]
tē´fon ( ή Τεφώ , hē Tephṓ ): In 1 Maccabees 9:50 , a city of Judea fortified by Bacchides, probably the "Beth-tappuah" of Joshua 15:53 , near Hebron. Josephus ( Ant. , Xii , i, 3) calls it "Tochoa."
