The Pagyritae (Latinized) or Pagyritai (original Greek) were a Scythian, or Sarmatian people mentioned by Ptolemy in his work Geographia (3.5).[1] Because Ptolemy is the only person to mention the Pagyritae, and he only gives a geographic location, not much is known about this tribe.
Location
[edit]Ptolemy places the tribes of the Agathyrsi and the Aorsi above the Pagyritae, while he placed the tribes of the Savari and Borusci below the Pagyritae.[1]
Gudmund Schütte connects the Pagyritae to the Pasyris[2] a town mentioned by Ptolemy in Geographia (3.5) near the Carcinitus river. Along with the river Pacyris a river mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his work: Natural History[3] (4.26) identified to be the same as the Hypacuris river from Herodotus, and the modern Kalanchak River in the Kherson Oblast.[4][5]
