Casluhim - The inhabitants of Colchis; for almost all authors allow that Colchis was peopled from Egypt.

Philistim - The people called Philistines, the constant plagues and frequent oppressors of the Israelites, whose history may be seen at large in the books of Samuel, Kings, etc.

Caphtorim - Inhabitants of Cyprus according to Calmet.
