Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Of obscure origin. Due to the heavy Scythian influence (evidently Strabo and Pliny went as far as to call them a Scythian tribe), Isidore of Seville thought that the name was a Greek corruption of Scythia, calling the names "not that much different...with one letter changed and one removed."[1][2][3]
Compare with Μασσαγέται (Massagétai) and Θυσσαγέται (Thussagétai).
