* Dibon.
Eusebius says that Dibon was a large town, near the river
Arnon. Burckhardt says, that when he was about an hour's
distance north of the Modjeb or Arnon, he was shown to the
N. E. the ruins of Diban, the ancient Dibon, situated in the
low ground of the Koura, or plains of Moab.

* Aroer.
Aroer was situated, according to Eusebius, on a mountain on
the north bank of the river Arnon. This is confirmed by
Burckhardt, who says it is called Araayr, and is seated on the
edge of the precipice, at the foot of which the river flows.
