(evidently a compound of the Hebrew ׃כפר (See CAPHAR-),) a town of Palestine mentioned in the Peutinger Table as lying between Ashkelon and Jerusalem, 8 (or 13) R. miles from Eleutheropolis, and thought by Reland (Palaest. p. 684) to be the same as Capharorsa (q.v.); but identified by Robinson with "a deserted village, Kefr Urieh, in or near the plain, not far from Tibneh and the mouth of the Surar" (Researches, 2:643).
