Genesis 10:4-5
10:4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, 1 Tarshish, 2 the Kittim, 3 and the Dodanim. 4
10:5 From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to its language, according to their families, by their nations.
1 sn The descendants of Elishah populated Cyprus.
2 sn The descendants of Tarshish settled along the southern coast of what is modern Turkey. However, some identify the site Tarshish (see Jonah 1:3) with Sardinia or Spain.
3 sn The name Kittim is associated with Cyprus, as well as coastlands east of Rhodes. It is used in later texts to refer to the Romans.
4 tc Most of the MT mss read “Dodanim” here, but 1 Chr 1:7 has “Rodanim,” perhaps referring to the island of Rhodes. But the Qere reading in 1 Chr 1:7 suggests “Dodanim.” Dodona is one of the most ancient and revered spots in ancient Greece.
