Tob 11:1

“Charan. Not the residence of Abraham, Genesis xii. 4. Syriac reads, “Bazri,” or “Carrac.” Old Vulgate, ibat Caracha, quĉ est civitas in Ninive. Arrian places Carcha in Assyria, and Ptolemy mentions a Characa in Susiana. — Midway. At this rate, the distance from Ninive to Ecbatana would be 22 days’ journey. But it is not half so much for a man travelling expeditiously. (Calmet) — Tobias had much luggage. Leaving it with his wife, (Haydock) he went from this city to Ninive in three or four days, ver. 18. (Calmet) — Greek, “And he travelled on till he came near to Ninive. And Raphael said,” &c.”
