     * Midian.
       Probably not the Midian east of the Red Sea, to which Moses
       fled, (Ex 2:15, etc.) but the Midian east of the Dead Sea, and
       south of Moab.  These Midianites, whose daughters seduced the
       Israelites to commit idolatry (Nu 22:4, 7; 25:15; 31:2, etc.)
       were descendants of Midian, son of Abraham, (Ge 25:2.)  Their
       capital city was called Midian, and its remains were to be
       seen in the time of Eusebius and Jerome:  it was situated on
       the Arnon, south of the city Ar, or Areopolis.

     * Paran.
       Probably the city of Paran, or the district around it,
       situated in the south of Idumea, and according to Eusebius,
       three days' journey east from Elah or Elath, at the head of
       the eastern branch, or Elamitic gulf of the Red Sea.
