horites - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Horites
  cave-men, a race of Troglodytes who dwelt in the limestone caves
  which abounded in Edom. Their ancestor was "Seir," who probably
  gave his name to the district where he lived. They were a branch
  of the Hivites (Gen. 14:6; 36:20-30; 1 Chr. 1:38, 39). They were
  dispossessed by the descendants of Esau, and as a people
  gradually became extinct (Deut. 2:12-22).
