Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper and occur within border clauses. In Joshua 16:6 the APB renders the border as coming out to the sea at Michmethath before turning eastward; in Joshua 17:7 it renders Manasseh's border as beginning from Asher at Michmethath and continuing toward En-tappuah.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Michmethath” in both boundary descriptions. It confirms the location-name setting rather than supplying a separate lexical rendering.
