Parsua
Parsua (earlier Parsumash) was an ancient tribal kingdom/chiefdom mentioned in different inscriptions of Assyrian Kings Shelmerser lll and Arshurbanipal during [1] (860-631 BC) which most historians believe the Assyrian Kings we're referencing to the Pars region of iran and it's local Kingdom because in the Ashurbanipal inscription, the Land of Parsua and it's ruling King (Cyrus) was mentioned, which was the name of Cyrus I from 640-600 B.C who also was the Great Grandfather, of Cyrus II also known as (Cyrus the Great) from 600-530 B.C who established the Achamenid empire in 550 B.C while the British geographer William Bayne Fisher claimed parsua was located between Zamua (formerly: Lullubi) and Ellipi, in central Zagros to the southeast of Sanandaj, western Iran. [2]
And Parsua was distinct from the Pars region in the southeast of iran, today now known as the Fars province in Iran, while this claim lacks substantial historical evidence.
