Shem, the third son of Noah, had five sons, who inhabited the land
that began at Euphrates, and reached to the Indian Ocean. For Elam left

Masaos, Chodad, Theman, Jetur, Naphesus, Cadmas. These inhabited all the
country from Euphrates to the Red Sea, and called it Nabatene. They are
an Arabian nation, and name their tribes from these, both because of their
own virtue, and because of the dignity of Abraham their father.
