Haydock's commentary
Sennaar, or Babylon.
Pontus, Hebrew: Ellasar, perhaps Thalassar, as Jonathan writes, not far from Eden.
Elamites, or Persians.
Nations in Galilee, east of the Jordan, whither the conquered kings directed their course. Josue xii. 23, mentions the king of the nations (foreigners) at Galgal. (Calmet)
