Πέρσα, πόλις, θηλυκῶς, παρὰ τῷ Εὐφράτῃ καὶ Σαμοσάτοις. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Περσαῖος. δυνατὸν δὲ καὶ Περσηνὴν εἰπεῖν, εἴ γε παρὰ τὴν Μέσην Μεσηνοὺς καὶ Μεσηνὴν λέγοντας εὕρομεν.

Persa: a city, feminine, by the Euphrates and Samosata. The ethnonym Persaios. It is also possible to say Persene, if indeed from Mese we have found them saying Mesenoi and Mesene.
