Anariacae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anariacae (Ancient Greek: Ἀναριάκαι) is an ancient Caucasian people mentioned by Polybius, Strabo, and Pliny. Ptolemy erroneously called them Amariacae (Ἀμαριάκαι).[1] [2] [3] According to Strabo their city was named Anariake (Ἀναριάκη; also rendered in English as Anariaca, Anariace, or Anariacae), and it had an oracle that revealed the will of the gods to those who slept within the temple.[1] [4] [5]
The Armenian geographer Anania Shirakatsi mentions Anariacae (‘Anariaki’ in Armenian) among the people inhabiting the northern parts of Media.[6] [7]
