	Marcus Claudius Tacitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Six months after the assassination of Aurelian, he was chosen by the senate to succeed him, and the choice was cordially ratified by the army.
		During his brief reign he set on foot some domestic reforms, and sought to revive the authority of the senate, but, after a victory over the Alans near the Palus Maeotis, he was assassinated at Tyana in Cappadocia.
		Tacitus, besides being a man of immense wealth (which he bequeathed to the state) had considerable literary culture, and was proud to claim descent from the historian Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, whose works he caused to be transcribed at the public expense and placed in the public libraries.

	Princes of the East - Chapter 26 Numis
		Maeotis had served as seasonal host to thousands of Munduk’s professional troops for many years, and had a far more extensive sex trade than we would even have seen in Maduc or other garrison towns in Saher’s country.
		Maeotis was a small, dirty, but busy town, and Sahelis loved its quaint closeness, brimming full with strange, exotic faces and weird smells.
		Their encounters with the whores of Maeotis had not explained, but deepened the mystery of women for the two, who could not recall when they last had sat at table with one.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Meteorology by Aristotle
		The current of Maeotis and Pontus is due to the number of rivers (more rivers flow into the Euxine and Maeotis than into the whole Mediterranean with its much larger basin), and to their own shallowness.
		Pontus is deeper than Maeotis, the Aegean than Pontus, the Sicilian sea than the Aegean; the Sardinian and Tyrrhenic being the deepest of all.
		Yet we know the whole breadth of the region we dwell in up to the uninhabited parts: in one direction no one lives because of the cold, in the other because of the heat.

		They returned to their father, and, having received his permission, they entered the Maeotis marshlands with their animals, and there they stayed.
		The region of Maeotis borders upon Persia, and with the exception of a narrow ford, is surrounded by sea.
		It has 108 provinces, distributed among clans sprung from the loins of the 108 sons of Hunor and Magor who went from the marshes of Maeotis to Scythia.

		Thus there were Alani both in Asia, in the Caucasus, and in Europe, on the Maeotis and the Euxine; and also, according to Josephus, between these two positions, in the great plains N.
		Their plundering and hunting excursions had brought them to the Maeotis and the Cimmerian Bosporus, and even into Armenia and Media; and it is to their life in those parts that the description of Ammianus evidently refers.
		Being vanquished by the Huns, who attacked them in the plains E. of the Tanais, the great body of the Alani joined their conquerors in their invasion of the Gothic kingdom of Hermanric (A.D. 375), of which the chief part of the European Alani were already the subjects.

		Beyond Lake Maeotis it spreads on the other side of the straits of Bosphorus to the Caucasus Mountains and the river Araxes.
		This river enters Maeotis, a marsh having a circuit of one hundred and forty-four miles and never subsiding to a depth of less than eight fathoms.
		Atone time, while hunters of their tribe were as usual seeking for game on the farthest edge of Maeotis, they saw a doe unexpectedly appear to their sight and enter the swamp, acting as guide of the way; now advancing and again standing still.

		“The next peoples to which one comes between Lake Maeotis [the Sea of Azov] and the Caspian Sea are nomads, the Nabianai and the Panxini, and then next the tribes of the Siraces and the Aorsi.
		It is clear from the text that Yancai had recently allied itself to, or joined with, the Alan tribes who stretched west past the Caspian, and were in regular contact with Roman-controlled cities via the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.
		This nation about this time [73 CE] laid a design of falling upon Media and the parts beyond it, in order to plunder them ; with which intention they treated with the king of Hyrcania ; for he was master of that passage which king Alexander [the Great] shut up with iron gates.

	Polybius • Histories — Book 4
		The mouth of the Palus Maeotis is called the Cimmerian Bosporus; it is thirty stades in width and sixty in length and is all of no great depth.
		There are two causes of the constant flow from the Palus Maeotis and the Pontus, one, at once evident to all, being that where many streams fall into basins of limited circumference the water constantly increases and, if there were no outlets, would continue to mount higher and occupy a larger area of the basin.
		As for the Palus Maeotis it is already silted up, the great part of it varying in depth between five and seven fathoms, so that large ships can no longer navigate it without a pilot.

		When therefore the children sprung from these slaves and the Scythian women grew to manhood, and understood the circumstances of their birth, they resolved to oppose the army which was returning from Media.
		Its country reaches on the south to Taurica, on the east to the trench dug by the sons of the blind slaves, the mart upon the Palus Maeotis, called Cremni (the Cliffs), and in part to the river Tanais.
		At last they reached the shores of the Palus Maeotis and came to a place called Cremni or "the Cliffs," which is in the country of the free Scythians.

		When you have crossed it you see the outer ocean, the further limit of which is unknown to the dwellers in our world.
		For it is clear that a barrier of silt was formed and after it lakes and dry land, but in course of time the water that was left behind in the lakes dried up and is now all gone.
		Again the silting up of the lake Maeotis by the rivers has advanced so much that the limit to the size of the ships which can now sail into it to trade is much lower than it was sixty years ago.

		As they began to pursue her, she fled into the Maeotis swamp,5 where she then disappeared from their sight.
		They then went back to their father, and as soon as they received his approval, they moved into the Maeotis swamp with their possessions, so they could settle down in there.
		Consequently, after having settled down in the Maeotis swamp, they did not leave it for five years.

		They then returned to their father, and as soon as they gained his consent, they went on together with all their stock, to the bogs of Maeotis, in order to settle there.
		The region of Maeotis borders on the province of Persia; except for a narrow crossing, it is surrounded on all sides by the sea.
		But when they ventured out once in the sixth year, they met, purely by chance, with the children and wives of the sons of Belár, as they were camping in the puszta without their husbands; and, riding fast, they carried them off with all their belongings to the bogs of Maeotis.

		The exiles, travelling through vast deserts (per vasta solitudines) arrived at the Maeotis swamps, where the stronger and more skilful of the much-travailed multitude, thriving in a region rich in fish and game, multiplied.
		Hungri is mere folk-etymology and not a real explanation of one of the names of the Magyars who mig-rated from Maeotis to Pannonia, but the description of the famine that ravaged the Avar lands in the Danube valley is based on authentic tradition.
		The Magyars lived east of the Dnieper and only crossed that river around 837, occupying the steppe as far as the Danube by the year 860.

		In antiquity, it was known as the Maeotian Lake or Maeotian Sea (Greek ἡ Μαιῶτης λίμνη and Latin Palus Maeotis).
		The sea's name may go back to a Turkish word, azak, meaning "low", a reference to its location.

	Was the Queendom of Amazons Located on the Taman' Land? by Sergei V. Rjabchikov - English (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Amazons who lived near the lake of the Maeotis (the Sea of Azov) had such feature; Russian fairy tales have such heroines as Tsar'-Devitsa (the King-Girl) and Belaya Lebed' (the White Swan) from the "Queendom of Maidens" (Rybakov 1994: 587-8).
		A.A. Takho-Godi (1989: 240-1; 2002: 199) believes that the ninth feat of Heracles took place in far south-east, "in the remote steppes of Themiskyra, near the lake of the Maeotis", "near the remote Themiskyra or near the lake of the Maeotis".
		Proximity of this town to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov specifies a definite place on the modern Taman' peninsula.

		Thus we can clearly prove that Vesosis then fought with the Goths, since we know surely that he waged war with the husbands of the Amazons.
		They dwelt at that time along a bend of Lake Maeotis, from the river Borysthenes, which the natives call the Danaper, to the stream of the Tanais.

		While the hunters of this tribe were as usual seeking game on the far bank of Lake Maeotis, they saw a deer appear unexpectedly before them and enter the swamp, leading them on as a guide of the way, now advancing and now standing still.
		The hunters followed it on foot and crossed the Maeotic swamp, which they had thought was as impassable as the sea.
		A Persian host came on them as they were plundering and overrunning the land, and, being on higher ground than they, filled the air with missiles so that, encompassed by danger, the Huns had to beat a retreat and retire across the mountains.

		Evidence that the Aesir (Iron people) were Trojan refugees can be confirmed from local and later Roman historical sources, including the fact that the inner part of the Black Sea was renamed from the Mare Maeotis to the "Iron Sea" or "Sea of Aesov", in the local tongue.
		Being desperate for a new homeland, they viciously carved themselves a kingdom from the land on the east bank, including the busy and prosperous trading town Tanais and, some time later, the land on either side of the entrance to this sea, Crimea and Kerch.
		Later on, the Mare Maeotis also became known as the Iron Sea, known to us as the Sea of Azov, since the Aes now totally dominated this sea and the eastern shores.

		[4.21] When one crosses the Tanais, one is no longer in Scythia; the first region on crossing is that of the Sauromatae, who, beginning at the upper end of the Palus Maeotis, stretch northward a distance of fifteen days' journey, inhabiting a country which is entirely bare of trees, whether wild or cultivated.
		[4.57] The eighth river is the Tanais, a stream which has its source, far up the country, in a lake of vast size, and which empties itself into another still larger lake, the Palus Maeotis, whereby the country of the Royal Scythians is divided from that of the Sauromatae.
		[4.116] Crossing the Tanais they journeyed eastward a distance of three days' march from that stream, and again northward a distance of three days' march from the Palus Maeotis.
