Hellenistic-Elamite successor kingdom at the head of the Persian Gulf in Susiana (modern Khuzestan, Iran), populated largely by descendants of the ancient Elamites and ruled by local kings, usually as vassals of the Parthian Arsacids.
Continued as a Parthian client state into the early 3rd century AD until it was absorbed by the rising Sasanian Empire around 224 AD.
