DINEI (Aram. Dīnājē; Vulg. Dinae). - In Ezra 4:9 they are named in the series of exiles from Babylon, from Susa, etc., transplanted by the Assyrian kings into Samaria (v. APARSACHEI). According to some, it would be a class of state officials, that is, judges (Aram. dajānā - judge). The ancients considered the term D. as the name of a people.
