kir - i - ath - san´a ( סנּה קרית , ḳiryath ṣannāh ; the King James Version Kirjath Sannah ): In Joshua 15:49 it is called "Debir," and is identical with KIRIATH-SEPHER (which see). As πόλις γραμμάτων , pólis grammátōn , "city of books," is the reading in Septuagint, the most natural explanation is that סנּה , ṣannāh , is a copyist's error for ספר , ṣepher , but Sayce considers this an ancient Canaanite name meaning "city of instruction," and that it occurs in the Tell el-Amarna Letters in the form "Bit' sani."
