(Genesis 10:4) DODANIM or RODANIM (1 Chronicles 1:7); since the Hebrew letter Daleth ( ד ) and the Hebrew letter Resh ( ר ), closely resemble One another in Hebrew, Septuagint and Samaritan versions translate "the inhabitants of Rhodes," the large island in the E. part of the Mediterranean; in Greek meaning "island of roses;" its coins are stamped with a rose. Sprung from Javan (Ιonia , "the Greek race"), son of Japhet. Gesenius identifies them with the Dardani of Illyricum and Troy, a semi-Pelasgic race, akin to the Kittim or Chittim. Dodona, seat of the oracle in Epirus, is a kindred name.
