ELYMAIS

el-i-ma'-is (Elumais):

This name, representing the Old Testament Elam (see ELAM), was given to a district of Persia lying South of Media and North of Susiana. In APC 1Macc 6:1 the common reading, which is adopted by the King James Version, refers to Elymais as a rich city in Persia. No other reference, however, to such a city is found except in Josephus (Ant., XII, ix, 1) who simply follows 1 Maccabees. The text should therefore be corrected to read as in the Revised Version (British and American), "in Elymais in Persia there was a city."
