Just a sheer speculation. What if *Aunxis is of Baltic origin, cf.
Lith. a'uksas 'gold', auksi`nis 'golden'? Then one of possible
interpretations of <golthescytha thiudos inaunxis> would be 'Golden
Scythians (or Gold-shielded), a people in gold(en region?)',
originally with some gold-mining (or amber-gathering?) connotations.
