Easton's Bible Dictionary 1897

Measured, a town of Simeon (1 Chr. 4:32).

Smith's Bible Dictionary 1863

(task), a place mentioned in (1 Chronicles 4:32) only, among the towns of Simeon.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia 1915

to'-ken (tokhen, "task," "measure"; Codex Vaticanus Thokka; Codex Alexandrinus Thochchan): One of the cities of Simeon, mentioned with Rimmen and Ashan (1Ch 4:32). The name does not appear in Joshua's list (Jos 19:7), but in that place the Septuagint gives Thokka, from which we may infer that the name has fallen out in the Hebrew. It is not identified.
