    Cusae or Kusai is the Greek name of a city in Upper Egypt, known to the Ancient Egyptians as Qis or Kis. Today, the city is known as el-Qusiya and is located on the west bank of the Nile, in the Asyut Governorate. It was a cult centre for Hathor, and also contained a necropolis, Meir, which was used during the Middle Kingdom to hold the tombs of local aristocrats. During the 5th century, the city was the camp of Legio II Flavia Constantia.
