[[Van]] de Velde proposes to identify it with ''El-Kauzah,'' "a village with traces of antiquity near wady el-Ain" (Memoir, p. 322), the Kauzih of Robinson (new Researches, p. 61, 62); but to this Keil objects (Comment. on Joshua ad loc.) that "the situation does not suit in this connection," although it lies very near Ramah, and in the direction from Tyre towards Achzib.

Possibly, however, as Sayce ( <i> HCM </i> , 429) and Moore ( <i> Judges </i> , 51) suggest, Hosah may represent the [[Assyrian]] Usu. Some scholars think that Usu was the Assyrian name for Palaetyrus. If "the fenced city of Tyre" were that on the island, while the city on the mainland lay at <i> ''''' Ras el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' ‛Ain ''''' </i> , 30 stadia to the South (Strabo xvi.758), this identification is not improbable. </p>

Hosah [1]

For this place Lieut. Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:337) the present 'Ozziyeh, meaning apparently (see Memoirs to Ordnance Survey, 1:51) el- Ezziyah, laid down at six and three quarter miles south-east of Tyre, and described (ibid. page 48) as "a village built of stone, containing seventy Druses; situated on a ridge, with two cisterns. There are two caves to the north of it." The identification is not noted by Saunders.
