In addition to the general works on the history of loctrines, there are a number on special periods (as the theology of the apostolic fathers), and also monographs >n special doctrines (as the doctrine of the Person of Christ, the Trinity, etc.), all of which are noticed in ^e articles devoted to these special subjects.

Doai\ a '* little hold" (rb bxvptofidrtov ; Vulg. muniHuncu- lum)j near Jericho (1 l£tcc. xvi, 15 ; compare verse 14), built by Ptolemieus, the son of Abubus, and in which he entertained and murdered his iltther-in-law, Simon MaccabsBUs, with his two sons. By Josephus (Ant. xiii, 8, 1 ; War, i, 2, 3) it is called Dagon (Aayiuv), and is said to have been **one of the fortresses (tpvfia- Titni) above Jericho." The word is probably the Ara- nuean Dakeka, a watchUower (Grimm, Exeg. Handb. in loc.). The name still remains in the neighborhood, attached to the copious and excellent springs of ^tn- Duky which burst forth in the Wady Naw&'imeh, at the foot of the mountain of Quarantania (Kumntul), about four miles N.W. of Jericho (Robinson, Res. ii, 809). Above the springs are traces of ancient founda- tions, which may be those of Ptolemy's castle, but more probably of that of the Templars, one of whose stations this was (see Mttnter, Statuienb. der Ord. des Tempelh. i, 419). It stood as late as tiie hitter end of the 18th century, when it was visited by Brocardus, who calls it Dooch {Descr. Terra Sanctm, ch- vii, p. 178, ed. Bonfr^re in Onomast.). — SmiUi, s. v.
Dod, Albert Baldwin, D.D., an emment Pres. byterian minister and mathematician, was bom in Mendham, N. J., March 24, 1805, and graduated A.B. at Princeton in 1822. In 1826 he became tutor, was licensed to preach in 1829, and in 1830 was appointed professor of mathematics in Princeton College. ' He filled the office with signal ability and success for fif- teen years, and died, after a short illness, Nov. 20, 1845. To a remarkable aptitude for mathematics he added an acute metaphysical turn and a taste for gen- eral literature, so that his mental culture was broad and catholic. He wrote several articles of great val- ue in the Princeton Review, and among them one on Transcendentalism (vols, xi, xii), which was afterwards reprinted as a separate pamphlet on account of its masterly treatment of the subject— Sprague, Annals, iv, 737.
Dod, John, an eminent Puritan divine, was bom at Shotiedge, Cheshire, England, in 1547, and was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he be- came fellow, and resided for sixteen years. At col- lege he acquired great reputation both as a disputant and a preacher. His first settlement was at Han- well, Oxfordshire, in 1581, where he remained twenty years, and was very popular and useful. He was sus- pended for nonconformity by Dr. Bridges, bishop of Oxford, and went to Cannons' Ashby, in Northamp- tonshire, where he was again silenced on a complaint to king James by bishop Neale. After the death of king James he gained liberty to resume his public la- bors, which he did with unremitted faithfulness and success till his death, which took place at Fawesley, Northamptonshire, a living to which he was presented in 1624. Mr. Dod was an excellent scholar, especially in Hebrew. He published An Exposition of the Prov- erbs (London, 1608, 4to) :— Sermons on Lamentations Hi (London, 1608, 4to): — A Remedy against Contentions (Lond. 1609, 4to) ; and, together with Robert Cleaver, An Exposition of the Ten Commandments, wtih a Cate- chism (Lond. 1682, 4to).
Do'dai* (Heb. Doday', ^'i^^, prob. another form for Dodo; Sept. Aw^/a v. r. Aia^at and Ab>^ata,yu]g. Dudia), an Ahohite, the chief officer of the contingent for the second month under David (1 Chron. xxvii, 4) ; probably the same as Dodo (q. v.), whose son Eleazar was one of David's three chief braves (2 Sam. xxiii, 9 ; 1 Chron. xi, 12). By some the words "ITrbK p, ^^ Eleazar the sou of,'' are supposed to have acci- dentally escaped in transcription from the text in 1

Do'danim (Heb. Dodanm% D'^J'I^, deriv. un- known ; Sept. 'Poiioi, V ulg. Dodamm), a family or race descended from (the foorth son of) Javan, the son of Ja- pheth (Gen. z, 4). The authorities raiy as to the form of the name : the Hebrew text has Dodanim in Genesis, but RoDANOc (0*^9*1^*1) hi the text of the parallel passage (1 Chron. i, 7, margin 0'^3'JI'^, Sept again 'Po^toc [v. r. Aw^ava/i], and Vulg. Dodamrn^ A. V. *' Dodanhn") ; Dodanim appears in the Syriac, Chal^ dee, Vulgate, Persian, and Arabic versions, and m the Targum of Onkelos; Rodanim is supported by the Sept., the Samaritan veraion, and some early writers, as Eusebius and Coemas. The weight of authority is in favor of Dodanim ; the substitution of 'Po^coc, Sho- dicnu, in the Sept. may have arisen from familiarity with that name (compare Ezek. xxvii, 15, where it is again substituted for Dedan). Dodanim is regarded as identical with Dardam (Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 1266), the latter, which is the original form, having been modified by the change of tiie liquid r into o, as in Barmilcar and Bomllcar, Hamilcar and HamUco (BaU. IM, Zeit, 1841, No. 4). Thus the Targum of Jonathan, that on Clironicles, and the Jerusalem Talmud, give Dardania for Dodanun. The Dardani were found in historical times in lUyricum and Troy: the former district was regarded as their original seat. They were probably a semi-Pelasgic race, and are grouped with the Chittim in the genealogiod table, as more closely related to them than to the other branches of the Pelasgic race (Knobel, Vdlkertafel, p. 104 sq.). The similarity of the name Dodona in Epirus (Strabo, vii, 827 sq.) has led to the identification of Dodanim with that place (Michaelis, SpidUg. i, 120); but a mere local designation appears too restricted for the general tenor of Gen. x. See Ethkoloot. Kalisch (Comm, on 6m,) identifies Dodanim with the Daurd- OM, who occupied the coast of Apulia : he regards the name as referring to Italy generally. The wide and unexplained difference of the names, and the compar- ative unimportance of the Daunians, form objections to this view. Those who prefer the reading Roda^ nim refer it to the Greek inhabitants along the river Mone (Bochart, Phakg, iii, 6), Arom the original Sho- dus (Tuch, Gen. p. 216).— Smith, s. v.
