From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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.
