But he also took the Philistines from Caphtor, (Calmet) and enabled them to settle in the country. (Haydock) Cappadocia. Cyprus, (Genesis x. 14.) or rather Crete, 1 Kings. (Calmet) Cyrene, (Symmachus) "wall "(Theodotion) or "pit. "(Septuagint) Theglathphalassar took Aram or the people of Damascus into captivity. (Calmet) Their future return is represented as already past. (Vatable; Mercer.)
