Van De Velde, 1854, p. 303 "Amongst others, I noticed from this spot in a westerly direction, at about an hour's distance, a hill top on which are situated the ruins of M-'Arma, in which I believe I may recognise the Arumah of Judges ix. 41, where Ablmelech remained after he had struck the first blow, and before he destroyed Shechem altogether."
