Dodanim

Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature

Dod´anim, the descendants of the fourth son of Javan (). Bochart and other commentators on the ethnographical sketch in Genesis 10 suppose that the first settlements of the Dodanim were in the south-west part of Asia Minor; and that settlers of this family may be traced in Thessaly and Epirus, where the name is traced in the city of Dodona and in the country of Doris. But there seems much of uncertainty in all these speculations.
