Ezekiel27:14

14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy faires with horses , and horsemen , and mules .

Of the Countrey.

Armenia the lesser, or Phrygia, Galatiae, or Cappadocia, or Paphlagonia.

All which Countreys, as they are Neighbours to each other, so they abounded in Horses, and as they had many for number, so they had good for quality, and furnisht their Neighbours; tis reported the Cappadocians paid 2000 Horses yearly Tribute to the Persians. And as they bordered on each other, 'tis likely, they might be reckoned thus together.

It is like with either many Horses, or some choice ones, which they sold, they might sell their Grooms, as best able to manage, and keep those Horses.

The Countreys above mentioned, especially Cappadocia, had many Mules, which they sold to their Neighbours, Mules, which are a mixt Creature of a Mare, and He-Asse.
