* Tarshish.
   Bochart thinks this Tarshish was probably the promontory Cory,
   on the north of the island of Ceylon, which, according to him,
   was the land of Ophir.  That it was name of a place in the
   East Indies, seems probable from the articles brought thence,
   and also from the ships sent thither being built at
   Ezion-geber, on the Red Sea; though Michaelis supposes that
   the fleet coasted along the shore of Africa, doubling the Cape
   of Good Hope, and came to Tartessus, in Spain, and thence back
   again the same way; that this accounts for their three years'
   voyage out and home; and that Spain and the coasts of Africa
   furnish all the commodities which they brought back.

 * Tharshish.  ivory.  or, elephants' teeth.  peacocks.
   {Tukkeeyim} is rendered {taysin} in the Targum, [taonon,] in
   the Alexandrian MS. of the LXX., and {pavos,} "peacocks," in
   the Vulgate; with which the Syriac, Arabic, and Rabbins agree.
   This derives confirmation from the fact, that the peacock is
   called in Malabaric, {Togei.}
