The Maspii were an Iranian tribe from Persis (Parsa in Old Persian) or Persia, in modern southwestern Iran. This tribe was one of the three main and leading Persian tribes, (the Persians were and are one of the Iranian peoples) alongside the Maraphii and the Pasargadae (from this later tribe came the Achaemenid royal family).[1]
