dodanim - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  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 1 Chr. 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.
