Re: A few facts about King Farzoi- addition

Something I forgot to add:
 
In the 50's Farzoi also seems to have intentionally established links between his regime and Classical Scythia. He facilitated the return of the Aukhata to their old haunts. We know from Pliny that these "descendants of the first son of Targitai" controlled territory along the Middle Dnipro. This was not just a literary reminiscence on his part. We know that Zarubinians were evicted from lands given over to steppe nomads. Pliny calls them Aukhata. We also know that there had been no Aukhata there since the beginning of the 3rd c. BCE, and that they had migrated back to Central Asia at that time (Demodamas has them somewhere north of the Iaxartes). Most importantly we have excellent archaeological evidemce for these "new arrivals" : they practiced a burial rite which had not been seen in those parts for 350 years and which was exactlt that of the Scythians located there in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE... They disappear again after ca. 150 CE. So Farzoi's
influence reached very far to the east indeed.
