George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

Ezekiel 26:8

Daughters. Many towns were subject to Tyre: almost all Ph\'9cnicia acknowledged her dominion, as well as (Calmet) the seas to which her fleets went, ver. 15. (Selden, Mare i. 6.; Curtius iv.) --- These smaller cities shall fall, and the town shall be of no service except to dry nets. (Worthington)
