description Abstract: Regarding the biblical toponym “Midian,” Eusebius’ Onomasticon notes the following “… there is another city of the same name near the Arnon and Areapolis which is pointed out as deserted.” The Rabinical Midrash Tanhuma while dealing with the question of Moses not participating in the war against Midian notes the same “…this is not Midian where Moses lived, it is beside Moab and is deserted till now.” It is obvious that they share the same source about a place or an area named Midian to be found in Moab near the Biblical Arnon river that is not inhabited in the late Roman period. This paper will suggest that these sources may refer to the phenomenon of archeological sites in Moab bearing the unique name Mudayna, appearing only in Moab. All are fortified sites, most of them have an Iron Age phase and all of them are not inhabited in the late Roman period.
