Ὑπερβάντι δὲ Λίμνην τε τὴν Μαιώτιδα καὶ ποταμὸν Τάναϊν ἐπὶ πλεῖστον μὲν τῶν τῇδε πεδίων Κουτρίγουροι Οὖννοι, ᾗπέρ μοι ἐρρήθη, ᾠκήσαντο· μετὰ δὲ αὐτοὺς Σκύθαι τε καὶ Ταῦροι ξύμπασαν ἔχουσι τὴν ταύτῃ χώραν, ἧσπερ μοῖρά τις Ταυρικὴ καὶ νῦν ἐπικαλεῖται, ἵνα δὴ καὶ τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος τὸν νεὼν γεγονέναι φασίν, οὗπέρ ποτε ἡ τοῦ Ἀγαμέμνονος Ἰφιγένεια προὔστη. |
| Translation |
West of the Maeotic Lake, then, and the Tanais River the Cutrigur (Koutrígouroi) Huns (Oúnnoi) established their homes over the greater part of the plains of that region, as I have said ; and beyond them Scythians (Skúthai) and Taurians hold the entire country, a certain part of which is even now called Taurica; and this is the place where they say the Temple of Artemis was, over which Agamemnon's daughter Iphigeneia once presided. |
| Summary |
Scythians and Taurians living west of the Meotic Lake and the Tanais River. |
