Genesis 10:2

Sons of Japheth— Japheth is here mentioned in his due rank, as the eldest, see Genesis 10:21. He was known to the Greeks, under the name of Japetus, whom they acknowledge to have been their father: more ancient than Japetus, was a proverb among them, for any thing whose origin could not be known. Japheth had seven sons: Gomer, who inhabited Phrygia; Magog,

Scythia; Madai, Media; Javan, Ionia and Greece; Tubal, Tibarene; Meshech, Moschiah; Tiras, Thrace.
