Aphar'sites, The. The Apharsathchites, the Apharsites, and the Apharsacites are the names of certain tribes, colonies from which had been planted in Samaria by the Assyrian leader Asnapper. Ezra 4:9; Ezra 5:6. The first (Apharsathchites) and the last (Apharsacites) are regarded as the same. Whence these tribes came, is entirely a matter of conjecture.
