Histories

Having made up their minds, the princes separated into two equal bands and fought with each other until they were all killed by each other's hands; then the Cimmerian people buried them by the Tyras river, where their tombs are still to be seen, and having buried them left the land; and the Scythians came and took possession of the country left empty.

And to this day there are Cimmerian walls in Scythia (region (general)), AsiaScythia, and a Cimmerian ferry, and there is a country Cimmeria [*](The name survives in “ +Krym [34,45] (autonomous republic), Ukraine, Europe Crimea.” The “Cimmerian ferry” is probably the narrow entrance of the Sea of +Azov [39.433,47.1] (inhabited place), Rostov, Rossiya, Russia, Asia Azov.) and a strait named Cimmerian.
