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.

"I gatheredª ° me also¹ silverª and gold,ª and the peculiar treasureª of kingsª and of the provinces:ª I gatª ° me men singersª ° and women singers,ª ° and the delightsª of the sonsª of men,ª [as] musical instruments,ª and that of all sorts." {Ecc 2:8}
