Iyrcae
They were distinguished by their mode of hunting, climbing a tree to survey their game, and then pursuing it with trained horses and dogs. Possibly as a result of false correction, they are mentioned during the first century CE, Pomponius Mela refers to the Τυρκαι (Turcae) in the forests north of the Sea of Azov, and Pliny the Elder lists the Tyrcae among the people of the same area. The ethnonym Iyrcae was also hypothesized to be connected to the Oghuz Turkic tribe of the Anatolian Yörüks. Some historians, however, include them among the Sarmatian tribes, since the accounts of Herodotus are consistent with later records of the Sarmatians culture, and the archaeological finds from the area at that time are also identical with the Sarmatians.
