Achaei

Achaei

The Achaei were an ancient people of Scythia, mentioned by Strabo (11.2, together with the Zygoi, Heniochi, and Cercetae and Macropogones) and by Pliny (4.26.2). Pliny mentions a "Portus Achaeorum" at the mouths of the Danube.The name has been interpreted to mean "river dwellers", from an Indo-European word for "water" (Latin "aqua", Old High German "aha"; Wissowa, Pauly's Real-Encyclopadie s. v. Achaei)
