nephtoah - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Nephtoah
  opened, a fountain and a stream issuing from it on the border
  between Judah and Benjamin (Josh. 15:8, 9; 18:15). It has been
  identified with 'Ain Lifta, a spring about 2 1/2 miles
  north-west of Jerusalem. Others, however, have identified it
  with 'Ain' Atan, on the south-west of Bethlehem, whence water is
  conveyed through "Pilate's aqueduct" to the Haram area at
  Jerusalem.
