SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–33 Moses had distributed the land east of the Jordan River

Before Moses died he had given land to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. In this section Yahweh reminded Joshua of the land that they still had not conquered. Then there is a detailed listing of the boundaries of the lands on the east side of the Jordan River.

Here is another possible section heading:

The land east of the Jordan River

13:9a

The area from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley,

Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon River,
Their land started at Aroer City at the Arnon River gorge.

The area from Aroer: In some languages it may be more natural to add implicit information, for example:

Their land started at Aroer (NCV)

Aroer: The term Aroer indicates a town that was along the Arnon River.

on the rim of the Arnon Valley: The clause on the rim of the Arnon Valley indicates that the town of Aroer was on the bank of the Arnon River, in the Arnon River Valley.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

Aroer was on the bank of the Arnon River, in the valley.

Arnon Valley: The term Arnon Valley appeared in 12:1 and you should translate it the same way in both places.

13:9b

along with the city in the middle of the valley,

including the town that is halfway along the valley,
It included the city that is halfway along the Arnon River gorge,

along with the city in the middle of the valley: The phrase in the middle of the valley indicates that the town was halfway along the valley. The town is not named.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

including the town that is halfway along the Arnon River Valley

13:9c

the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,

to the plain beyond Medeba, as far as Dibon City.
and the whole of the Medeba Plateau to Dibon City.

the whole plateau of Medeba: The word plateau indicates a plain. The plateau of Medeba was a high, flat area between the Arnon River in the south and Heshbon in the north. It was 600–700 meters high.13:9 Woudstra, p. 216.

Medeba: The town of Medeba was a Moabite town that the Israelites captured from King Sihon (see Numbers 21:21–32). Today it is the town of Madaba in Jordan, twenty miles south of Amman.13:9 Rasmussen, p. 244.

as far as Dibon: The phrase as far as Dibon indicates that the tableland of Medeba stretched from Medeba in the north to Dibon in the south. Dibon was one of the Moabite towns that the Israelites captured. Its name today is Dhiban and it is thirteen miles east of the Dead Sea and three miles north of the Arnon Gorge.13:9 Rasmussen, p. 244.

uW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠הָ⁠עִ֨יר אֲשֶׁ֧ר בְּ⁠תוֹךְ־הַ⁠נַּ֛חַל

and,the,city which/who in_the=middle of,the_wadi

This could mean: (1) Alternate translation: [and the nearby city, known as one of the cities of Aroer, that is in the middle of the wadi] (2) Alternate translation: [including the part of that city that is in the middle of the wadi]
