en Tsez https://mariapolinsky.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Tsez_Final.pdf Bernard Comrie; Maria Polinsky 2013-12 1 University of California, Santa Barbara; University of Maryland, College Park The name Tsez derives from the indigenous self-designation cez or cezi, while the alternative Dido is the Georgian designation. The traditional lands of the Tsez are more or less coterminous with the Tsunta district (cuntinskij rajon) in Daghestan, excluding the Bezhta division (bežtinskij učastok), inhabited by speakers of Bezhta and Hunzib, and the village of Genukh, where speakers of Hinuq live. https://web.archive.org/web/20210426000221/https://mariapolinsky.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Tsez_Final.pdf

Note: The form Dīdō and the interpretation of it as dative in Macrobius' Saturnalia 5, 2, 14 is dubious. Lewis and Short mention an alternative reading Didoni,2. Dīdō Dido2 while Friedrich Neue states it's an accusative and not a dative.Friedrich Neue, Formenlehre der Lateinischen Sprache. Erster Theil, Stuttgart, 1866, p. 310.
