However, from the vision of Tyre mentioned by Ezekiel, where he says the merchants of Sheba and Raamah, or as the LXX interpreters said, Regma, were your traders, it seems that these people also made their nation, and since Sheba is mentioned, it indicates that its region is neighboring to this province.<br/><i>— Commentary on Genesis (Hexaemeron)</i></p><p><b>Bede</b>: The sons of Seba: Raamah and Dedan.
