Why this is in the register

No English translation of Jerome's Latin work was located. HOLLIS on 'Jerome sites and names of Hebrew places' returns one English book, 'The Onomasticon: Palestine in the fourth century A.D.' (Jerusalem: Carta, 2003), but it is catalogued under Eusebius of Caesarea, i.e. it translates Eusebius's Greek Onomasticon, not Jerome's Latin De situ et nominibus, which is Jerome's own Latin version with alterations and additions (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Jerome%20sites%20and%20names%20of%20Hebrew%20places&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 As with the Hebrew Names, the only English text of this work in the standard patristic series is its preface: NPNF series 2 vol. 6 prints 'Preface to the Book on the Sites and Names of Hebrew Places' (https://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf206.toc.html). No FOTC, ACW or Translated Texts for Historians volume of the Latin work was found.

Jerome's gazetteer of biblical place-names is the Latin counterpart to Eusebius's Onomasticon and the reference work behind every later Latin description of the Holy Land. Because the English Carta volume is Eusebius's Greek, the passages where Jerome departs from Eusebius — the parts historians of Palestine actually want — have no English text at all.
