- Title
OF TAPYROI AND TABLETS, STATES AND TRIBES: THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF PASTORALISM IN THE ACHAEMENID HEARTLAND IN GREEK AND ELAMITE SOURCES.
- Authors
HENKELMAN, WOUTER F. M.
- Abstract
The Persian tribe of the Tapyroi appears to be at home in the Caspian region according to the classical sources, except for one passage in Arrian's Anabasis. The Elamite texts from the Persepolis Fortification archive now add more information on this second group of Tapyroi. More important, these sources allow for a new contextualization of classical accounts on the tribes of Achaemenid Iran and yield a more complete image of their status within, and interaction with, the state.
