Subjects in this Topic:
DINAITES (Ezr_4:9).—A people settled in Samaria by Osnappar (i.e. probably Ashurbanipal). They have been variously identified with the Da-ja-çni, a tribe of western Armenia, mentioned in inscriptions of Tiglathpileser I.; and with the inhabitants of Deinaver, a Median city, or of Din-Sharru near Susa. The last view seems the most probable.
