 * Parvaim.
   Parvaim is supposed by Calmet to be the same as Sepharvaim in
   Armenia or Media; Bochart is of opinion that it is Taprobanes,
   now the island of Ceylon, which he drives from {taph,} a
   border, and Parvan, i.e., "the coast of Parvan;" but the late
   Editor of Calmet thinks it the same as the Parvatoi mountains
   of Ptolemy, at the head of the Indus.
