Tadmor . Tadmor , the Palmyra of the Greeks , as we learn from Josephus , a celebrated city of Syria , situated in an oasis , or fertile spot of land , surrounded on all sides by a vast sandy desert , like an island in the midst of the ocean; according to Pliny , 337 miles from Seleucia and Tigrim , 203 from the nearest part of the Mediterranean , and 176 from Damascus; according to Josephus , one day's journey west of the Euphrates , and six from Babylon; and according to Ptolemy , in lat. 34 degrees north , or that of Tripoli , and about 4 degrees more easterly; and it is described by Mr. Wood as "situated under a barren ridge of hills to the west , and open on the other sides to the desert;" "about six days' journey from Aleppo , and as much from Damascus , and about twenty leagues west of the Euphrates." Palmyra attained the height of its splendour when the royal city of Zenobia was conquered by the emperor Aurelian; became a Roman colony after the victories of Trajan; and was probably reduced to its present miserable state in the wars of the Saracens. Its magnificent ruins , however , scattered over an extent of several miles , sufficiently attest its former splendour and riches.

Ophir . Conjectures respecting the situation of Ophir are endless. Grotius conjectures it to be a part of Arabia called Aphar by Arrian; while Bochart and others have placed it in the island of Ceylon. Calmet supposes it to have been situated in Armenia; but his late editor places it at the head of the Indus. Josephus says that Ophir is the Indies , called the Gold country; by which he is supposed to mean Chersonesus Aurea , now Malacca , opposite Sumatra; and Lev. Poivre observes that the inhabitants of these places call their gold mines ophirs.
