     * 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.
