| Quotation |
Λίμνην δὲ τὴν Μαιῶτιν καὶ τὴν ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐκβολὴν ὑπερβάντι εὐθὺς μὲν ἐς αὐτήν που τὴν ταύτης ἀκτὴν οἱ Τετραξῖται καλούμενοι Γότθοι τὸ παλαιὸν ᾤκηντο, ὧν ἐπεμνήσθην ἀρτίως· πολλῷ δὲ αὐτῶν ἄποθεν Γότθοι τε καὶ Οὐισίγοτθοι καὶ Βανδίλοι καὶ τὰ ἄλλα Γοτθικὰ γένη ξύμπαντα ἵδρυντο. οἳ δὴ καὶ Σκύθαι ἐν τοῖς ἄνω χρόνοις ἐπεκαλοῦντο, ἐπεὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἅπερ τὰ ἐκείνῃ χωρία εἶχον, Σκυθικὰ μὲν ἐπὶ κοινὴς ὀνομάζεται, ἔνιοι δὲ αὐτῶν Σαυρομάται ἢ Μελάγχλαινοι, ἢ ἄλλο τι ἐπεκαλοῦντο. |
| Translation |
Now beyond the Maeotic Lake and the outlet flowing from it the first people were the Goths (Gótthoi) called Tetraxitae, whom I have just mentioned, who in ancient times lived close along the shore of this
strait ; but the Goths (Gótthoi) and the Visigoths (Ouisígotthoi) and Vandals (Bandíloi) were located far away from them as were other Gothic nations (Gotthikà éthnē). These Tetraxitae were called also Scythians (Skúthai) in ancient times, because all the nations who held these regions are called in general Scythians, while a few of them had an additional designation such as Sauromatae (Sauromátai) or Melanchlaenae or something else. |
| Summary |
People living around the Meotic Lake. |
