Elishah.
 See also on Gen. 10:4. The progenitor of the inhabitants of “isles” or coasts (possibly Sicily, southern Italy, or Sardinia), who provided blue and purple in their trade with Tyre (Eze. 27:7). Such dyes were obtained from certain kinds of shellfish.
Tarshish.
 The name is now commonly identified with Tartessus in Spain (see on Gen. 10:4; see also 1 Kings 10:22; 22:48; 1 Chron. 7:10; Ps 48:7; Isa. 2:16; 23:1, 14; 60:9; 66:19; Jer. 10:9; Eze. 27:12, 25; Jonah 1:3).
Kittim.
 Probably, the island of Cyprus (see on Gen. 10:4; see also Num. 24:24; Eze. 27:6).
Dodanim.
 Rather, Rodanim (see on Gen. 10:4). His descendants were probably the inhabitants of Rhodes.
