| General Location Notes | - Kent, Biblical Geography and History (1911) (page 194): “12 miles southwest of Pelusium”
- Gardiner, Ancient Military Road between Egypt and Palestine (1920) (page 107): “gives the name Tell Habwe instead of the Tell Semut spoken of by others--there is no more than a small heap of red brick, about 20 yards square, perhaps the remains of a medieval guardhouse”
- Gardiner, Ancient Military Road between Egypt and Palestine (1920) (plate XII) places it about 10km along a line from Tell Abu Sefeh and Tell el Herr
- Hoffmeier, Walls of the Ruler (2006) (page 10): “Tell Ahmar... Also called Tell Habwe. The application of the name Habwe to this site should not be confused with Tell Hebua located 7 miles north-northeast of Tell Abu Sefeh... Tell Ahmar is the name given to this small site by the SCA inspectors. It was briefly excavated in 1993/1994 before being destroyed by the As-salam irrigation canal project”
