Apharsathchites
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
Apharsachites identical (Ezra 4:9; Ezra 5:6), Apharsites distinct (Ezra 4:9). There were mountaineers, Paraetacae, between Media and Persia, who may answer to the former. The latter seems to correspond to the Persians, in a local and restricted sense; else the Parrhasii.
