Askenaz, according to these authorities, occupies the western part of Asia Minor; Togarmah is Armenia, and G-omer occupies the region of Cappadocia between them; Kiphath, the author locates on the southern shore of the Black Sea, north of G-omer; but in accordance with others it is also referred to the region north of this sea.

They are also set farther north, to represent the Scythian nations.
