Above them, possessing the second region, dwell the Budini, whose territory is thickly wooded with trees of every kind.
Beyond the Budini, as one goes northward, first there is a desert, seven days' journey across; after which, if one inclines somewhat to the east, the Thyssagetae are reached, a numerous nation quite distinct from any other, and living by the chase.
Adjoining them, and within the limits of the same region, are the people who bear the name of Iyrcae; they also support themselves by hunting, which they practise in the following manner.

  Tribal Identifications: Naphtali by Yair Davidiy
A people called Thyssagetae were located by Herodotus6 in the north of Scythia in the Urals region (in present-day northeast Russia) neighboring the Iyrcae.
The metallurgical activity of Serica and east Siberia seems to have ended fairly rapidly and may be directly traceable to the exodus of Naphtalites.
Its continuation is noticed almost without interruption in Scandinavia where legends of Odin and Thor repeat again the existence of kin and possessions in the east, in the lands of the "Turks", who have been identified as the Iyrcae neighbors of the Thyssagetae from Naphtali.

Among the tribes of the Scythians, the Massagetae attracted the notice of all the ancient historians by their numbers and warlike ability.
The Massagetae were the Greater Goths and the Thyssagetae were the Lesser Goths.
We have seen that the names of the Massagetae and the Thyssagetae evolved into Goths, the Ostrogoths (or east Goths) and Visigoths (or west Goths).

Bhim Singh Dahiya has suggested that the Kushans or Yuezhi were Jats.
Also, the Greek historian Herodotus may have written Massagetae for Ta-Yuezhi (Great Yuezhi) and Thyssagetae for Siao-Yuezhi (Little Yuezhi).
The Yuezhi sometimes practiced the exchange of hostages with the Xiongnu, and at one time were hosts to Maodun (Ch:冒頓), son of the Xiongnu leader.

Having done so, they again pressed forward on the track of the retreating Scythians, till, having passed through the entire country of the Budini, they reached the desert, which has no inhabitants, and extends a distance of seven days' journey above the Budinian territory.
Beyond this desert dwell the Thyssagetae, out of whose land four great streams flow.
These rivers all traverse the country of the Maeotians, and fall into the Palus Maeotis.
