CORODAMUM PROM

CORODAMUM PROM (Κορόδαμον ἄκρον), a promontory at the ME. extremity of the country of the Sachalitae, immediately without the straits of the Persian gulf., Mr. Forster fixes it at Ras-el-Had, [p. 1.688]the easternmost promontory in Arabia, and follows Bochart in identifying the name with that of the Joktanite patriarch Hadoram. (Arabia, vol.i. pp. 140--142.) Others find Corodamum in Corroomb Point, immediately north of Muscat.
