Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SUS , a province of southern Morocco, once an independent kingdom, and still too unruly to be opened to Europeans, who have nevertheless for centuries past made efforts to secure a foothold. Its
principal
  towns are Tarudant, Iligh (the old
capital
 ), and Glimin on the Wad Nun. Tarudant, the present
capital
 , flourished in the 12th century on account of the neighbouring copper-mines. Saltpetre is now the only important product. Ports might be opened at Agadir Ighir (once occupied by the Portuguese for thirty years as Santa Cruz), Massa, Ifni, Arksis and Assaka at the mouth of the Wad Nun. As a coveted
district
 , all kinds of natural riches are attributed to Sus, but it may be assumed that they are exaggerated. Europeans land at their peril, since the
coast
  is by imperial order closed to
trade
 , no custom-
house
  being provided. Most of the business of Sus is carried on at
great
  fairs lasting eight or fifteen days, during which time all roads of approach are guaranteed safe by the tribesmen that
trade
  may be uninterrupted. Caravans from Sus laden with copper-
ware
 , olive oil, butter, saffron, wax, skins,
dates
 , dried roses, &c., are sent to Marrakesh, four days' journey from Tarudant. Susis are well known in the north of Morocco as able tradesmen and clever metal workers. They live frugally, and are only prodigal in powder and human life. Their language is almost exclusively Shilhah, a dialect of Berber. (K.A.M.*)
