Aquila's version

See Greek Versions. AR {I'i Dt 2', comp. tj,- ' citv,' or nx^D-ij; Nu 21^, Is 15'), on the south bank of the river Amon, on the northern border of the Moabite territory, situated in a pleasant valley where two branches of the river united ( Nu 21'-'' 22^ ' the city of Moab ' = Ar of Rloab). It is possibly the same as Kerioth (Am 2^ Jer 48^-'"). It is also almost certainly referred to in Dt 2° as ' the city that is by the river,' AV, or rather, 'in the valley,' RV (Heb. Sn:, LXX 4>apa.yi).

The ruins of Ra\)l)ah, though often identified mth Ar, lie, not on the banks of the Arnon, but at least 10 miles farther S., and represent a later city built after the old Ar had been destroyed by an earthquake in B.C. 342.
