Most scholars agree that there were more than one Aphek. While Tel-Aphek (Antipatris) is one of them, C.R. Conder identified the Aphek of Eben-Ezer with a ruin ("Khirbet") some distant from Dayr Aban (believed to be Eben-Ezer), and known by the name "Marj al-Fikiya"; the name "al-Fikiya" being an Arabic corruption of Aphek. Eusebius, when writing about Eben-ezer in his "Onomasticon", says that it is "the place from which the Gentiles seized the Ark, between Jerusalem and Ascalon, near the village of Bethsamys (Beit Shemesh)," a locale that corresponds with Conder's identification.
