I thought Belisarius had taken care of the Vandal problem back in the reign of Justinian...obviously some got away.

Elamite-speakers are mentioned in the New Testament (Acts 2) as one of the groups which heard the apostles preaching in their own language on Pentecost in Jerusalem. Elamite was also one of the three languages on King Darius' inscription at Behistun in which he describes how he became king of the Persian Empire.
