Akatziri

The Akatziri, Akatzirs or Acatiri (Ancient Greek: Άκατίροι, Άκατζίροι, Akatiroi, Akatziroi;[1] Latin: Acatziri) were a tribe that lived north of the Black Sea, though the Crimean city of Cherson seemed to be under their control in the sixth century.[2][3] Jordanes (fl. 551) called them a mighty people, not agriculturalists but cattle-breeders and hunters.[4] Their ethnicity is undetermined: the 5th-century historian Priscus describes them as ethnic (ethnos) Scythians, but they are also referred to as Huns (Akatiri Hunni[1]). Their name has also been connected to the Agathyrsi.[1][4] However, according to E. A. Thompson, any conjectured connection between the Agathyrsi and the Akatziri should be rejected outright.[5]
