* Midian.
   A country in Arabia Petr(9161), on the eastern coast of the Red
   Sea, near Mount Sinai.  This place is still called by the
   Arabs the Land of Midian, or of Jethro.  Abulfeda, speaking
   of Midian, says, "Madyan is a city, in ruins, on the shore of
   the Red Sea, on the opposite side to Tabuc, from which it is
   distant about six days' journey.  At Midian may be seen the
   famous well at which Moses watered the flocks of Sho(8369)b,
   (Jethro.)  This city was the capital of the tribe of Midian
   in the days of the Israelites."
