John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 27:14

"They of the house of Togarmah traded for thy wares with horses and war-horses and mules." — Ezekiel 27:14 (ASV)

They of the house of Togarmah
The Targum is,``they of the province or country of Germany.'' Jerom understands it of Phrygia, near to which was Cappadocia; and perhaps is here meant, since it abounded with what these people are said to trade with Tyre in: these traded in your fairs with horses, horsemen, and mules ;
for the Cappadocians paid for their yearly tribute to the Persians fifteen hundred horses, and two thousand mules, as Bochart ^F3 from Strabo observes; and as they sold horses and mules to the Tyrians, so likewise horsemen, men that were skilled in riding and taking care of horses; and these were sold along with the horses, as servants for that purpose.
