𐤁/𐤊𐤎𐤐𐤉𐤀
Kasifeya
in-Casiphia
Proper noun designating a specific locality—Casiphia—associated with the Jewish exile community in the Babylonian region, referenced as a settlement or administrative area from which Levites were summoned during the return to Jerusalem. The form of the name likely conveys something akin to 'place of silver' due to apparent connection to the Hebrew noun for silver (כֶּסֶף).

SIBI-P1 Translation H3703-01

| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + proper noun, singular place name (toponym). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to the proper name כָּסִפְיָא, a locality whose name is derived from the root כסף ("silver"). Rendering it as "Silver-place" preserves the root sense while reflecting its function as a toponym. |
