Precise Coordinates Notes | New Bible Dictionary (1996) (Telassar) places "Tell Bassar (Basher) southeast of Raqqa on the Euphrates River;" similarly, Wiseman, 1 and 2 Kings (2015) says "Tell Bassar southeast of Raqqa on the River Euphrates;" this site is well northwest of Raqqa and thus may not be the correct tell; on the other hand, Dussaud, Topographie historique de la Syrie antique et médiévale (1927) does place Turbessel in Bit Adini |
