Dodanim:

leaders, a race descended from Javan (Gen 10:4). They are known in profane history as the Dardani, originally inhabiting Illyricum. They were a semi-Pelasgic race, and in the ethnographical table (Gen 10) they are grouped with the Chittim (q.v.). In 1Ch 1:7, they are called Rodanim. The LXX. and the Samaritan Version also read Rhodii, whence some have concluded that the Rhodians, the inhabitants of the island of Rhodes, are meant.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Dodanim:

do'-da-nim (dodhanim, "leaders"): In Ge 10:4, the son of Javan, the son of Japheth. This would place the Dodanim among the Ioninns. The parallel passage 1Ch 1:7, with the Septuagint and Samaritan Pentateuch, has, however, "Rodanim," which is probably the true reading. This identifies the people with the Rhodians (compare on Eze 27:15 under DEDAN).

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Dodanim:

(leaders) (Genesis 10:4; 1 Chronicles 1:7) a family or race descended from Javan, the son of Japhet (Genesis 10:4; 1 Chronicles 1:7). Dodanim is regarded as identical with the Dardani, who were found in historical times in Illyricum and Troy.
