    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper and appear in sequences of place names. In Isaiah 15:5 the APB renders the clause “to Eglath-shelishiyah the third” after Zoar; in Jeremiah 48:34 it renders “from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah” amid a cry and desolation announcement.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Eglath-shelishiyah” in both verses, once with “the third.” That added wording cannot be assigned to the lemma alone.
