****GK: 50 CE, not 50 BCE. Only those of the upper Pripet migrated to
Galicia. Those of the Middle Dnipro who bore the brunt of the
Sarmatian assault (these Sarmats were part of the Late Scythian State
led by the Satarchai Spali, later defeated by the Goths as Jordanes
recounts) migrated northeastward, creating the preconditions for the
historical emergence of the Slavs. The "Zarubinians" of Galicia
eventually became a component of the Goths.****
