TYRAS (Ancient city) DAKIA
Tyrangitae (Turangeitai, turangetai, or Turegetai, Strab. vii. p. 289, &c.; Ptol.
iii. 5. § 25), literally, the Getae of the Tyras, an immigrant tribe of European
Sarmatia dwelling E. of the river Tyras, near the Harpii and Tagri, and, according
to Ptolemy, the northern neighbours of Lower Moesia. Pliny (v. 12. s. 26) calls
them, with more correct orthography, Tyragetae, and represents them as dwelling
on a large island in the Tyras.
Tyritae (Turitai, Herod. iv. 51), certain Greeks settled at the mouth of the Tyras,
probably Milesians who built the town of that name.
