<p> (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. </p> | |||

<p> ''''' tel ''''' - ''''' mē´la ''''' ( תּל־מלח , <i> ''''' tēl ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' melaḥ ''''' </i> , "hill of salt"): [[A]] [[B]] abylonian town mentioned in Ezra 2:59; Nehemiah 7:61 with Tel-harsha and Cherub (see [[Tel-Harsha]] ). It possibly lay on the low salt tract near the Persian Gulf. In 1 [[Esdras]] 5:36 it is called "Thermeleth." </p> | |||
