Calmet (Dict. s.v.), arbitrarily conjecturing that Maron is the true reading, refers to Maronia, a small village of Syria thirty miles east of [[Antioch]] (Jerome, Vit.

Schwarz infers ( ''Palest.'' p. 90, 173) from labbinical notices (chiefly a statement of the early [[Jewish]] traveler hap-Parchi in Asher's ''Benj. Of'' Tudela, p. 430) that the site is that of the present Kefrenda, a considerable village at the foot of the hills north of Diocaesarea, containing a very deep well and some traces of antiquity, which Dr. Robinson (new edit. of Researches, 3:109-111) is inclined to regard as marking the place of the Asochis of [[Josephus]] (Lije, 41, 45, 68; War, 1:4, 2; int. 13:12, 4), although admitting that the latter may be referred to Tell ed-Bedawiveh, in the vicinity. </p> <p> "In the Sept. version of &nbsp;2 Samuel 21:20, the [[Hebrew]] words '''''אֵישׁ''''' '''''מָדוֹן''''' '''''‘''''' a man of stature,' are rendered '''''Ἀνὴρ''''' '''''Μαδών''''' '','' '''''‘''''' a man of Madon.' This may refer to the town Madon, or may be merely an instance of the habit which these translators had of rendering literally in (Greek letters Hebrew words which they did not understand. Other instances will be found in &nbsp;2 Kings 6:8; &nbsp;2 Kings 9:13; &nbsp;2 Kings 12:9; &nbsp;2 Kings 15:16, etc." </p>

El-Medineh, "the city," on the heights West of the Sea of Galilee, with which it might possibly be identified, probably dates only from Moslem times.

Madon [1]

is perhaps the modern ruin Khurbet Madin (Conder, Tent Work, 2:338), a quarter of a mile south of Hattin, near Lake Tiberias, consisting of "heaps of ruins, some well-dressed stones" (Memoirs to Ordnance Survey, 1:403).
