Aroer now -Ar-âir, a heap of ruins near the wâdy Mojib, i.e. the Arnon(Joshua 12:2). It passed from Sihon king of the Amorites into the hands of the Reubenites at the Conquest (ib.Joshua 13:16). See Bädeker, p. 191.

Nebo and Baal-meon A line drawn due N. from Aroer (see last note), passes close first to Ma-in(which may be Baal-meon) and then to Jebel Nebâ, which evidently preserves the name of Mount Nebo.

Baal-meon called more correctly Beth-baal-meon Joshua 13:17.
