===Wadi Fusail===
Conder and Kitchener noted, while writing of [[Qaryut]], that "[t]his place, being at the head of ''Wady Fusail'', seems to have given rise to the mediaeval identification of that valley as the ''Brook Cherith'' (mentioned by [[Marino Sanuto the Elder|Marino Sanuto]] in 1321)."<ref name=SWP288>{{cite book|last1=Conder|first1=C.R.|author-link1=Claude Reignier Conder|last2=Kitchener|first2=H.H.|author-link2=Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener|title=The Survey of Western Palestine: Memoirs of the Topography, Orography, Hydrography, and Archaeology|page=288|publisher=[[Palestine Exploration Fund|Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund]]|volume=2|year=1882|location=London|url=https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp02conduoft#page/288/mode/1up|access-date=7 July 2021}}</ref> Sanuto commented that the stream extended into [[Phasaelis]], which was named after Prince [[Phasael]], the brother of King [[Herod the Great|Herod]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Armstrong |first=George |year=1895 |title=Names and places in the old and new testament and apocrypha: With their modern identifications }}</ref> This identification would again contradict the more common translation of 1 Kings 17:3 (see comment above at "Wadi Kelt"), since Wadi Fusail with both modern Qaryut and ancient Phasaelis lie west, not east of the Jordan.
