Tristram (Bible Places, page 230) acquiesces in the identification of this with the remarkable peak two and a half miles north of Riha (Jericho), called Osh el-Ghurah, which is the most prominent of all the conical peaks that terminate the terrace running down into the Jordan valley, and is about five hundred feet above the plain (Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey, 3:167).
