Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Apharsachites identical ( Ezra 4:9; Ezra 5:6), Apharsites distinct ( Ezra 4:9). There were mountaineers, Paraetacae, between Media and Persia, who may answer to the former. The latter seems to correspond to the Persians, in a local and restricted sense; else the Parrhasii.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]
Apharsathchites (probably the same as the Apharsachites, Ezra 5:6; Ezra 6:6 ). A colony of the Assyrians in Samaria; an eastern people subject to the Assyrians.
