The Harudes (in the graecized form "Charydes") are next mentioned in the "Res Gestae Divi Augusti", in which Augustus claims that his fleet had "sailed from the mouth of the Rhine eastward as far as the lands of the Cimbri to which, up to that time, no Roman had ever penetrated either by land or by sea, and the Cimbri and Charydes and Semnones and other peoples of the Germans of that same region (Cimbrian peninsula) through their envoys sought my friendship and that of the Roman people". The naval expedition in question took place in 5 AD under the generalship of Tiberius and is also attested by Velleius Paterculus.
