		Ebers (Aegypten und die Bücher Moses, 130ff) thought that Caphtor represented the Egyptian Kaft-ur, holding that Kaft was the Egyptian name for the colonies of Phoenicians in the Delta, extended to cover the Phoenicians in the north and their colonies.
		As early as the time of Thotmes III the inhabitants of this land, the Kafti, are mentioned in the records.

	Daily Bible Study - Caphtor
		Caphtor is identified in the Bible as where the Philistines came from before settling in part of what The Lord later designated as the land of Israel.
		The location of Caphtor is unknown for certain, although there are two possibilities accepted by Biblical historians.
		The other possibility for the location of Caphtor is Egypt, based on the genealogies provided in Genesis chapter 10 and 1 Chronicles chapter 1 in which they appear related to people who are known for certain to be Egyptian.

	Philistines
		They are spoken of by (Amos 9:7) and (Jeremiah 47:4) as from Caphtor, i.e., probably Crete, or, as some think, the Delta of Egypt.
		It would therefore appear that they were not of the Semitic race, though after their establishment in Canaan they adopted the Semitic language of the country.
		From Philistia the name of the land of the Philistines came to be extended to the whole of "Palestine." Many scholars identify the Philistines with the Pelethites of 2 Samuel 8:18.

		Their origin is nowhere expressly stated in the Bible; but since the prophets describe them as "the Philistines from Caphtor" (Amos 9:7), and "the remnant of the maritime district of Caphtor" (Jer.
		There is equal authority for believing Caphtor to have been the island of Cyprus, or a land somewhere between Egypt and Ethiopia, or a part of Northern Egypt.
		Some have claimed that Caphtor and the modem island of Crete are identical; but the best authorities do not agree with this conclusion.

		Until recently the location of Caphtor was not certain; it had been variously identified with Cappadocia, Cyprus, Crete, and Cilicia.
		Many passages in the Bible refer to the Philistines as Cherethites, and the identification of Caphtor with Crete is supported by ancient writers.

		In Jeremiah 47:4 they are named 'the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor', and Amos compares the exodus of Israel from Egypt with that of the Philistines 'from Caphtor'(Am.9:7)
		Caphtor is generally taken as synonymous with Crete, but also with Cyprus and the southwest of Asia Minor.
		Karageorghis adds to the arguments in favour of Cyprus the evidence from excavations on the island (near Pyla and Maa): a mixed population (from Crete, Greece and Anatolia) appears to have lived here in fortified villages during 25 years.

		The Israelites were familiar with the Philistines on the coastal plain to the west; therefore, this information was added to inform the reader that the Philistines, associated with the Egyptians, were originally from Caphtor.
		Most biblical scholars agree that the location for Caphtor is the island of Crete and its environs.
		We have noted that the Bible says the Philistines came from Caphtor, which, when examined with other biblical passages, appears to be Crete.

		The basic mention of Caphtor is a red herring to the original idea that there was no knowledge of the arrival of the Philistines on the coast.
		What we have in the biblical tradition is not any knowledge of the Philistine arrival, but stories of the Israelites coming into contact with the Philistines who were already in their lands.
		The removal of the reference to Dan from the passage is difficult, as it will mean the removal of other material.

		2:4-5, the term "Cherethites" (i.e., Cretans) occurs in poetic parallel with "Philistines." The Philistines are specifically associated with "Caphtor" in Jer.
		Amos 9:7 states that YHWH brought the Philistines out of Caphtor in the same way that he brought the Israelites out of Egypt.
		This suggests that Caphtor may not have been the Philistines' ultimate place of origin, since Egypt was not the place of the Israelites' ultimate origin either.

		It would thus appear that the Tin which was imported into ancient Palestine, and which entered into the bronze that decorated Solomon's temple, and formed sacred vessels in that sanctuary, was presumably obtained in most part, if not altogether, from the Phoenician Tin-mines of Ancient Britain.

		Between Palestine and Idumea there was a city Caparorsa; and their close connection with Palestine on the one hand, and Egypt (Mizraim, Ge 10:13,14) on the other hand, makes this locality the most likely.
