apparently they have been having it -as Chris mentions- in the notices of
Appianus.
I have to make a rectification regarding the Agathyrses. They are considered
to have
been of Scythic origins not of Iranian origin; in the time of Herodotus they
should have been
already very different since comparative with Neures they have kept Thracian
laws
not the scythic laws . But a such statement (of scythian origin) means
almost nothing
since "being scythian" is more a geographical idea as any ethnological one.
And what
for a wide geographic space !!
