the ancient royal residence of the kings of Persia, built by Darius Hyllaspis, according to Pliny; though he probably only restored it, being a very ancient city, founded by Tithonus father of Memnon. It was in compass 120 stadia, of an oblong quadrangular form, with a citadel called *Memonium*. In scripture it is called *Susam*, the royal citadel, from the great number of lilies growing in that district (Atheneus); situate on the river Uhla, or Eulaeus (Daniel): and the Spaniards call at this day a lily *ofi/en* (Pindico). Susa was the winter, as Ecbatana was the summer, residence of the kings of Persia, (Xenophon, Strabo, Plutarch). Here the kings kept their treasure, (Herodotus.) Now called *Tuffar*.
