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".
