Suzaei

Σουζαῖοι

Eth. Suzaei (Eth. Σουζαῖοι), a tribe of ancient Persis, noticed by Ptolemy (6.4.3). Lassen considers from this name that they were connected with the people of Susa, and that they were of the same race as the Uxii, one of the mountain races of Susiana. (Ersch. u. Grüber's Encycl. iii. sect. vol. xvii. p. 438.)
