Referencing Katpatuka, the [[Septuagint]] translated the name as "Kappadokias" and the [[Vulgate]] similarly renders it as "Cappadocia". The seventeenth-century scholar [[Samuel Bochart]]<ref>''[[Geographia Sacra seu Phaleg et Canaan]]'' (Caen 1646)  l. 4. c. 32. [http://www.godrules.net/library/gill/28gillamo9.htm].</ref> understood this as a reference to [[Cappadocia]] in Anatolia but John Gill writes that these translations relate to Caphutkia.<ref name="Gill"/>
