 Chittim
    or Kittim, a plural form (Gen. 10:4), the name of a branch of
    the descendants of Javan, the "son" of Japheth. Balaam foretold
    (Num. 24:24) "that ships shall come from the coast of Chittim,
    and afflict Eber." Daniel prophesied (11:30) that the ships of
    Chittim would come against the king of the north. It probably
    denotes Cyprus, whose ancient capital was called Kition by the
    Greeks.
      The references elsewhere made to Chittim (Isa. 23:1, 12; Jer.
    2:10; Ezek. 27:6) are to be explained on the ground that while
    the name originally designated the Phoenicians only, it came
    latterly to be used of all the islands and various settlements
    on the sea-coasts which they had occupied, and then of the
    people who succeeded them when the Phoenician power decayed.
    Hence it designates generally the islands and coasts of the
    Mediterranean and the races that inhabit them.
