Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Cuthean colonists planted in Samaria by the Assyrians, after Shalmaneser's carrying away of the ten tribes ( Ezra 4:9).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]
DINAITES ( Ezra 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.
Morrish Bible Dictionary [3]
Colonists placed by the Assyrians in the cities of Samaria. Ezra 4:9 . They are not otherwise known.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [4]
dı̄´na -ı̄ts ( דּיניא , dı̄nāyē' ): A people mentioned in Ezra 4:9 , as settled in the city of Samaria by Osnappar (Assurbanipal). The identification is uncertain.
