Genesis 10:3
Ashkenaz - Probably gave his name to Sacagena, a very excellent province of Armenia. Pliny mentions a people called Ascanitici, who dwelt about the Tanais and the Palus Maeotis; and some suppose that from Ashkenaz the Euxine Sea derived its name, but others suppose that from him the Germans derived their origin.
Riphath - Or Diphath, the founder of the Paphlagonians, which were anciently called Riphataei.
Togarmah - The Sauromates, or inhabitants of Turcomania. See the reasons in Calmet.
