Toreatae

Toreatae

The Toreatae (Greek: polytonic|Τορεᾶται, Strabo xi. 2. 11) or Toretae (Greek: polytonic|Τορεταί, Steph. B. "s. v."; Dionys. Per. 682; Plin. vi. 5; Mela, i. 2; Avien. "Orb. Terr." 867) were a tribe of the Maeotae in Asiatic Sarmatia. Strabp describes them as living among the Maeotae, Sindi, Dandarii, Agri, Arrechi, Tarpetes, Obidiaceni, Sittaceni, Dosci, and Aspurgiani, among others. (xi. 2. 11)

Ptolemy (v. 9. § 9) mentions a polytonic|Τορετικὴ ἀκρὰ in Asiatic Sarmatia; and in another passage (iii. 5. § 25) he speaks of the polytonic|Τορεκκάδαι (Toreccadae) as a people in European Sarmatia, who are perhaps the same as the Toretae or Toreatae.
