Genesis 10:4

4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, ^{▼▼ The descendants of Elishah populated Cyprus.} Tarshish, ^{▼▼ 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.} the Kittim, ^{▼▼ 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.} and the Dodanim. ^{▼▼ 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.}
