In the lists of nine-arch peoples from Tanis and Tebtynis , among others , “Chaset-charu” is assigned the synonyms “ Ta-mehu ” and “ Mehti ” (north country) in an additional declaration . The areas of Iuntiu , Iabtju (Ostbewohner) Ascheru - Syrians , Mentju-nu-Setjet (South Asian Bedouins ), Setjet ( Asians ) and Hau nebut be in these lists are not the synonyms "Ta mehu" and Nordland in connection brought, but listed separately as nine-arch peoples.
The Syrian Desert ("Chaset-charu") is located on the plateau in the east and south-east of Syria , is interrupted in its center by smaller chains of hills and gradually slopes down towards the Euphrates Depression . In the north-east of Syria, the Euphrates cuts through the foothills of the desert, to which a fertile plain, the Jazira , connects to the north . In the southwest lies the Hauran area with the volcanic massif of the Jebel ad-Duruz as the eastern boundary to the desert steppe.
