Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [2]
(Μακάλων ), a place whose natives to the number of 122 returned from the captivity (1 Esdras 5:21); evidently the MICHMASH (See Michmash) (q.v.) of the Hebrew lists (Ezra 2:27; Nehemiah 7:31).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]
mak´a - lon ( οἱ ἐκ Μακαλῶν , hoi ek Makalṓn ; 1 Esdras 5:21): This corresponds to "the men of Michmas" in Ezra 2:27 . The mistake has probably arisen through reading Macalon in Greek uncials for "AL".
