Mixup with Yazur[edit]

--Victor Guérin spells Yazur and Yasur, Gaza exactly the same way in French; Yazour. In the Judee index p. 398 he gives:

    • Yazour, Gazer, Gezer? I, 26-29
    • Yazour, Hatsor-Hadattah, Asor Nova, II, 67, 68.

--Guerin spells them the same way also in Arabic (check!) however, for the Judee, II, 67-ref, he gives an alternative Arabic spelling which equals the spelling in Yasur, Gaza. (check!)

--Petersen, 2001, pp. 311, 313 in Yazur refers to Judee II, 67, 68. ("By the time of the visit of Guerin the village contained 450 inhabitants involved in the cultivation of tobacco and olives (Judee, II, 67)) This is wrong. (It should be Judee I, 26-29) ( However, Guerin also discusses *which* ancient places these villages were. How much of mixup there has been there remains to be seen. )

--Dauphin p.863 correctly places Judee II, 67, 68 at Yasur, Gaza See also User:Huldra/Guerin Cheers, Huldra (talk) 13:50, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
