MIDDIN.A town in the wilderness of Judah (Jos_15:61). The site has not been recovered.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
One of the six cities of Judah in the "wilderness" (midbar; Jos_15:61, including the waste on the upper level, the cliffs, and shore of the lake). Um el Bedun valley, S.W. of the Dead Sea, bears traces of the name. Conder (Palestine Exploration, July 1875) identifies it with Khirbet Mird, one of the six cities of the midbar or "desert", on the edge of the Bukeia, E. of Mar Saba.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary

By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
mid?in (מדּין, middı̄n; in GB, Αἰνών, Ainṓn, ?springs?): One of the six cities in the wilderness of Judah (Jos_15:61). There are not many possible sites. The Hebrew name may possibly survive in Khirbet Mird, a very conspicuous site with many ancient cisterns overlooking the plateau el Bukea‛, above which it towers to a height of 1,000 ft.; it is the Mons Mardes of early Christian pilgrims; the existing remains are Byzantine. It is a site of great natural strength and was clearly once a place of some importance. The Greek reading Ainōn, ?place of springs,? suggests the neighborhood of the extensive oasis of ‛Ain Feshkhah at the northwest corner of the Dead Sea where there are at Kh. Kumrâm remains of buildings and a rock-cut aqueduct. See PEF, III, 210, 212, Sh XVIII.

Middin
(Heb. Middin', מַדַּין, distaznce; Sept. Μαδδίν v.r. Μαδών), a town in the desert of Judah, mentioned between Beth-arabah and Secacah (Jos_15:61); and probably situated not far from the Dead Sea, about opposite its middle, or possibly at the ruins near a well marked on Van de Velde's Map as Khan Mardeh, near the north end of the Dead Sea. By Van de Velde (Memoir, page 256, and Map) mention is made of a valley on the south-western side of the Dead Sea, below Masada, called Urn el- Bedun, which may contain a trace of the ancient name.
