The
Tyrageti,
Tyragetae, or
Tyrangitae (,
Strabo vii.;
Ptolemy iii. 5. § 25), literally, the
Getae of the
Tyras River, 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
Carpi people 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.
