Genesis 10:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Of Elam came the Elamites or Persians: see Genesis 14:9 Isaiah 21:2 Jeremiah 49:34 Daniel 8:2 Acts 2:9. Asshur was father of the Assyrians: see Genesis 10:11. Of Arphaxad the Chaldeans, as many conceive; or, as others, the inhabitants of that part of Assyria, from him called Arphaxitis, which Ptolemy corruptly calls Arrapachitis. Lud was father of the Lydians, a well-known people in Asia the Less. Of Aram the Syrians, known by the name of Aramites, both in sacred and other authors: compare with this Genesis 22:21.
