  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Suph 
  (Deut.  1:1,  R.V.;  marg.,  "some  ancient  versions  have  the  Red 
  Sea,"  as  in  the  A.V.).  Some  identify  it  with  Suphah  (Num.  21:14, 
  marg.,  A.V.)  as  probably  the  name  of  a  place  Others  identify  it 
  with  es-Sufah  =  Maaleh-acrabbim  (Josh.  15:3),  and  others  again 
  with  Zuph  (1  Sam.  9:5).  It  is  most  probable,  however,  that  in 
  accordance  with  the  ancient  versions,  this  word  is  to  be 
  regarded  as  simply  an  abbreviation  of  Yam-suph,  i.e.,  the  "Red 
  Sea."
