George Leo Haydock, on Tob 3:7

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Tob 3:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father’s servant maids,”
On this verse:
“Rages. In the Greek it is Ecbatana which was also called Rages. For there were two cities in Media of the name of Rages: Raguel dwelt in one of them and Gabelus in the other. (Challoner; Menochius) — Profane authors mention a Rages in the vicinity of Ecbatana. (Diod. Bib. 19.) — It may here denote the province. (Worthington)”
