Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

SUCHE(τὸ Σούχου φρουρίον, Strab. 16. p. 770), the SUCHIM of the Hebrews (2 Chron. 12.3), and the modern Suachim, was a harbour on the western coast of the Red Sea, just above the bay of Adule, lat. 16° N. It was occupied by the Aegyptians and Greeks successively as a fort and trading station; but the native population of Suche were the Sabae Aethiopians.
