  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Shoa 
  opulent,  the  mountain  district  lying  to  the  north-east  of 
  Babylonia,  anciently  the  land  of  the  Guti,  or  Kuti,  the  modern 
  Kurdistan  The  plain  lying  between  these  mountains  and  the 
  Tigris  was  called  su-Edina,  i.e.,  "the  border  of  the  plain." 
  This  name  was  sometimes  shortened  into  Suti  and  Su  and  has  been 
  regarded  as  =  Shoa  (Ezek.  23:23).  Some  think  it  denotes  a  place 
  in  Babylon.  (See  {PEKOD}.) 
 
 
  From  Hitchcock's  Bible  Names  Dictionary  (late  1800's)  [hitchcock]:
