Additionally, when reviewing the remarks of Herodotus on the
founding of the Scythian people, we see:

Jove -> Targitaus -> three sons named LEIPOXAIS, ARPOXAIS, and
COLAXAIS.

Zeus -> Hercules -> three sons named AGATHYRSUS, GELONUS, and
SCYTHES.

Colaxais and Scythes are equated in the tales but the rest remain a
mystery.
If any further linguistic evidence could be drawn from Tarigitaus,
Leipoxais, Arpoxais, COlaxais, Agathyrsus, Gelonus, or Scythes - I
would be very appreciative!
