 * Hiram.  Ophir.
   Conjectures respecting the situation of Ophir are endless.
   Grotius conjectures it to be a part of Arabia called Aphar by
   Arrian; while Bochart and others have placed it in the island
   of Ceylon.  Calmet supposes it to have been situated in
   Armenia; but his late editor places it at the head of the
   Indus.  Josephus says that Ophir is the Indies, called the
   Gold country; by which he is supposed to mean Chersonesus
   Aurea, now Malacca, opposite Sumatra; and Le Poivre observes
   that the inhabitants of these places call their gold mines
   {ophirs.}

 * took thence.
