* Arnon.
   Arnon is a stream which takes its rise in the mountains of
   Moab, and, by a north-west course, during which it receives
   the waters of several streams, runs into the Dead sea.  It is
   now called Wady Modjeb, and divides the province of Pelka from
   that of Kerek, as it formerly divided the kingdoms of the
   Moabites and Amorites.  Its principal source is at a short
   distance to the north-east of Katrane, a station of the Syrian
   Hadj, where it is called Seyl Sayde; and lower down it
   receives the name of Esseim el Kereim, or Szefye.
