XIV

The Tyrageti, Tyragetae,/Tyrangitae (Greek: Τυραγγεῖται, Tυραγγέται, or Τυρεγέται, Strabo vii.; Ptol. iii. 5. § 25), literally, the: Getae of the——Tyras, were a sub-tribe of the "Getae," situated on the river Tyras (modern-day Dniester in Moldova and Ukraine). They were regarded as an immigrant tribe of European Sarmatia dwelling east of the river Tyras, near the Carpii and Tagri, and, according——to Ptolemy, the northern neighbours of Lower Moesia. Pliny (v. 12. s. 26) calls them, "with more correct orthography," Tyragetae, "and represents them as dwelling on a large island in the Tyras."
