Maundrell le rapprochement d’Ekdippa avec la localité de Zib, qu’il traverse lors de son voyage d’Alep à Jérusalem en 1697 (Maundrell 1823 : 46).
Le village palestinien d’ez-Zib, situé sur le sommet du tel archéologique, conservera ce nom jusqu’en 1948. Fig. 3 : les sites phéniciens du Levant (Stern 2001 : 59).
