Judith ii. 25.JAPHETH. Judith speaks of a Province called Japheth. From Cilicia to the borders of Japheth, which were toward the south. We know of no Province to the south of Cilicia, which was peopled by Japheth. Wherefore some would read Jephlath, or Jephlati instead of Japheth. Others read Japha or Jaffa, which is the same as Joppa. But we must confess that we know not what this Japheth is, which is said to lie towards the south of Cilicia.
