Caspian
Caspians ( Caspii , arm. Caspikh ) were an ancient tribe who lived around 700 BC. Settled in the estuary of the Cyrus (Cyrus) and the Araxes . The Caspian Sea was named after them as early as Herodotus († around 424 BC) .
In the Kaspiana (now Lənkəran ) landscape named after them , where very narrow passes, the so-called Caspian Gates ( Tengi Sirdara ) lead, old people who had turned seventy were abandoned in the steppe and starved to death.
Artaxias ( Artasches ; between 200 and 2 BC) had the Caspians of Sembat subjugated with the Armenian troops.
The former Aryan tribe was completely turanized in Eustathios of Thessalonike's time .
