 However, there is evidence that the identification of Rabbinic Peki'in with Peki'in-Buqei'a is of Ottoman time, and other sites in the vicinity of Rehovot have also been suggested.The first writing where the name "Peki'in" undoubtedly refers to this village is from a 1765 Hebrew travel book.In the Crusader era, Peki'in was known under the name of "Bokehel."
