Aḥituv, 1984, p. 99:
Geba was once identified by Mazar with Jaba, a deserted village on the western slopes of Mt. Carmel; later he equated it with Geba-shemen and located it at Tell el-Amr. But as Geba-shemen is mentioned explicitly already in 1:41, this must be another Geba. Aharoni proposed locating Geba at Khirbet esh-Shuqaq on the suggested 'Saphita Road.' However, it is now evident that Geba is to be located at Tell Abu Shushah and equated with Gaba of the Cavalry of Josephus." In a footnote it says "Still another Gabe is mentioned by Eusebius (Onomasticon, 70:8), as being 16 Roman miles from Caesarea. The only suitable site for this Gabe is the deserted village of Jaba on the western slopes of Mt Carmel, ca. 24 km from Caesarea on the supposed Roman road."
Aḥituv, 1984, p. 100:
Geba-shemen was identified by Mazar with Tell el-Amr, near Shaar-haamaqim. His proposal was based on the assumption that Geba-shemen is the forerunner of Gaba of the Cavalry of Josephus which should be located at the nearby Khirbet el-Hartiyeh.
Although it is now evident that Gaba of the Cavalry is to be located at Tell Abu Shushah (cf. s.v. Geba ) and is unconnected with Geba - shemen, the identification of Geba -shemen with Tell el- Amr is still valid.
Josephus (Vita 24 [115]) gives the distance from Simonias (Khirbet Sammunlyeh; cf. s.v. Shimon) to Gaba, where Aebutius resided, as 60 stadia = ca. 11 km, and from Gaba to [] (Beth- shearim) as 20 stadia = ca. 3.7 km (ibid., [118]). These are the respective distances from Khirbet el-Hartiyeh to Khirbet Sammuniyeh and Beth-shearim. As excavations at Khirbet el- Hartiyeh did not reveal pre-Hellenistic remains, it is most probable that Canaanite Geba -shemen should be located at the nearby Tell el-Amr. It might be that the second component of the name is preserved in the name of the nearby small mound of Tell es-Samn.
