It is also mentioned in Jeremiah 31:38; Zechariah 14:10. Its position appears to have been at the north-eastern corner of the present mosque enclosure (see Strong's ''Harmony And Expos.,'' Append. 2, p. 19). Schwarz ''(Palest.'' p. 251) also locates it in this vicinity, but absurdly identifies it with the tower of Hippicus. (See [[Jerusalem]]). [[Gesenius]] ''(Thes.
