From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Nephtoah
     opened, a fountain and a stream issuing from it on the border
     between Judah and Benjamin (Josh. 15:8, 9; 18:15). It has been
     identified with 'Ain Lifta, a spring about 2 1/2 miles
     north-west of Jerusalem. Others, however, have identified it
     with 'Ain' Atan, on the south-west of Bethlehem, whence water is


     conveyed through "Pilate's aqueduct" to the Haram area at
     Jerusalem.
