(ἡ Τεφώ ); Josephus, Τοχόα or Τοχόαν; Vulg. Thopo; Syr. Tefos), one of the cities in Judmae fortified by Bacchides (1 Maccabees 9:50). It is probably the BETH-TAPPUAIA (See BETH-TAPPUAIA) (q.v.) of the Old Test., which lay near Hebron. The form given by Josephus suggests Tekoa, but Grimm (Exeg. Handbuch) has pointed out that his equivalent for that name is Θεκωέ; and there is, besides, too much unanimity among the versions to allow of its being accepted.
