Midrash su Genesi 10:14
וְֽאֶת־פַּתְרֻסִ֞ים וְאֶת־כַּסְלֻחִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָצְא֥וּ מִשָּׁ֛ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וְאֶת־כַּפְתֹּרִֽים׃ (ס)
Come pure i Pathrussei, e i Casluhhei, dai quali ebbero origine i Filistei; ed i Caftorei.
Midrash Tanchuma
Behold, your days to die have approached: Moshe said in front of the Holy One, blessed be He, "Master of the Universe, With the word that I complemented You - as I said, 'Behold, to the Lord, your God, is the Heavens and the Heavens of the Heavens' (Deuteronomy 10:14) - You are shaming me?" Said the Holy One, blessed be He, to him, "You are similar to a bad neighbor who sees what comes in [the house], but does not see what goes out. So did you say about my children, 'Behold, the Children of Israel will not listen to me' (Exodus 6:12) - and you put out slander about My children."

Sefer HaYashar (midrash)
And the sons of Elishah are, the Alemania; and they also went and built for themselves cities, and those cities are situated between the moun tains of Jub and of Shubtham. And these families conquered Italah and they dwelt there even unto this day. And the children of Kittim are the Romim that dwell in the valley of Kanphia, by the waters of Tiberu. And the sons of Dodanim are the families that dwell in the cities by the sea Gihon in the land of Bordenah. These are the families of the sons of Japheth and their languages, after they were scattered abroad through the building of the tower; and they called their cities also after their own names or after some of their occurrences. And these are the names of all their cities, named after their families, which they built in those days, after the tower. And the sons of Ham are: Cush and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan according to their families and their cities. All these families went and built for themselves cities, as they found suitable localities, and they called their cities after the names of their sires: Cush and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Mizraim are: Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, and Caph torim; seven families, and all these dwelt by the river Shihor, which is the river of Egypt; and when they built their cities they called them after their own names. And the sons of Pathrus and the sons of Casluh inter married with each other, and from them came the Pilishtim, and the Agathim, and the Gerarim, and the Gathim, and the Ekronim, altogether five families. These also built cities for themselves, calling their names after the names of their sires, even to this day. And the sons of Canaan also built cities for themselves, calling them after their own names, eleven cities, and suburbs beyond number. - - And four men went away from the family of Ham, and they came to the land of the plain, and these are the names of the four men: Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim. And these men built unto themselves four cities in the land of the plain, calling the names of the cities after their own names. And they dwelt in those cities, with their children and with all that was theirs, and they were very fruitful and they multiplied themselves greatly, and they dwelt securely. And Seir, the son of Hori, the son of Hivi, the son of Canaan, went away and discovered a valley opposite Mount Paran, and he built a city therein and he dwelt there with his seven sons and his household. And he called the city which he built, Seir, after his own name; this is the land of Seir even to this day. These are the families of the sons of Ham according to their tongues and cities, whither they have been scattered after the destruction of the tower.
