Μετὰ δὲ Ἀψιλίους τε καὶ τοῦ μηνοειδοῦς τὴν ἑτέραν ἀρχὴν ἐς τὴν παραλίαν Ἀβασγοὶ ᾤκηνται, ἄχρι ἐς τὰ Καυκάσια ὄρη διήκοντες. οἱ δὲ Ἀβασγοὶ Λαζῶν μὲν κατήκοοι ἐκ παλαιοῦ ἦσαν, ἄρχοντας δὲ ὁμογενεῖς δύο ἐσαεὶ εἶχον. |

Beyond the Apsilii (Apsilioí) and the other end of the crescent the Abasgi (Abasgoí) dwell along the coast, and their country extends as far as the mountains of the Caucasus. Now the Abasgi have been from ancient times subjects of the Lazi (Lazoí), but they have always had two rulers of their own blood. |

Procopius locates the Apsilii and the Abasgi. The latter are said to be subjects of the Lazi and to have two rulers. |
