In the area of Tabgha (Greek: Heptapegon), on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, a few sites are associated by local tradition with the life of Ayyub. A small grotto near the base of what is known to Christians as the Mount of Beatitudes, or Mount Eremos, is known as Mghraret Ayub (Job's Cave). Two of the towers built in the Byzantine period to collect the water of the Heptapegon springs are named in Arabic Tannur Ayub (Job's Kiln) and Hammam Ayyub (Job's Bath). Hammam Ayyub was initially called the Leper's Bath, but the leper was later identified with Job; the nearby spring, now a waterfall, is known as Ain Ayub, Job's Spring.
