Without an optical afterglow, a galaxy within the 2 arc second error region of a GRB x-ray afterglow is identified as a host galaxy; however confusion can rise due to the facts that 1. the edge of a galaxy is diffused, 2. multiple sources could exist within 2 arc second error region, 3.the distance between the galaxy and the x-ray afterglow is measured by projection, and 4. lensing causes increase of brightness and position shifts. ...

. Comment on J0126-0123 . No detection: this object has been studied with the Molonglo telescope at 408 MHz (Schilizzi & McAdam 1975) as a source with a size between 2 and 5 . It is near an Abell cluster (Owen & Ledlow 1997). The data could be confused with a strong radio source (3C 40) identified with a pair of galaxies at z=0.018, 170" from our field center.
