From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dispersion       (Gr. diaspora, "scattered," James 1:1; 1 Pet. 1:1) of the Jews.       At various times, and from the operation of divers causes, the       Jews were separated and scattered into foreign countries "to the       outmost parts of heaven" (Deut. 30:4).                (1.) Many were dispersed over Assyria, Media, Babylonia, and       Persia, descendants of those who had been transported thither by       the Exile. The ten tribes, after existing as a separate kingdom       for two hundred and fifty-five years, were carried captive (B.C.       721) by Shalmaneser (or Sargon), king of Assyria. They never       returned to their own land as a distinct people, although many       individuals from among these tribes, there can be no doubt,       joined with the bands that returned from Babylon on the       proclamation of Cyrus.                (2.) Many Jews migrated to Egypt and took up their abode       there. This migration began in the days of Solomon (2 Kings       18:21, 24; Isa. 30:7). Alexander the Great placed a large number       of Jews in Alexandria, which he had founded, and conferred on       them equal rights with the Egyptians. Ptolemy Philadelphus, it       is said, caused the Jewish Scriptures to be translated into       Greek (the work began B.C. 284), for the use of the Alexandrian       Jews. The Jews in Egypt continued for many ages to exercise a       powerful influence on the public interests of that country. From       Egypt they spread along the coast of Africa to Cyrene (Acts       2:10) and to Ethiopia (8:27).                (3.) After the time of Seleucus Nicator (B.C. 280), one of the       captains of Alexander the Great, large numbers of Jews migrated       into Syria, where they enjoyed equal rights with the       Macedonians. From Syria they found their way into Asia Minor.       Antiochus the Great, king of Syria and Asia, removed 3,000       families of Jews from Mesopotamia and Babylonia, and planted       them in Phrygia and Lydia.                (4.) From Asia Minor many Jews moved into Greece and       Macedonia, chiefly for purposes of commerce. In the apostles'       time they were found in considerable numbers in all the       principal cities.                From the time of Pompey the Great (B.C. 63) numbers of Jews       from Palestine and Greece went to Rome, where they had a       separate quarter of the city assigned to them. Here they enjoyed       considerable freedom.                Thus were the Jews everywhere scattered abroad.
