Dodanim

leaders, a race descended from Javan (Gen 10:4 ). They are known in profane history as the Dardani, originally inhabiting Illyricum. They were a semi-Pelasgic race, and in the ethnographical table (Gen 10:1 etc.) they are grouped with the Chittim (q.v.). In (1Chr 1:7 ), they are called Rodanim. The LXX. and the Samaritan Version also read Rhodii, whence some have concluded that the Rhodians, the inhabitants of the island of Rhodes, are meant.
