Ιστορία[]
Not to be confused with the Sindhi people.
The Sindi (Greek: Σινδοί, Herod. iv. 28) were an ancient people in the Taman Peninsula and the adjacent coast of the Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea), in the district called Sindica, which spread between the modern towns of Temryuk and Novorossiysk (Herod. l. c.; Hipponax. p. 71, ed. Welck.; Hellanic. p. 78; Dionys. Per. 681; Steph. B. p. 602; Amm. Marc. xxii. 8. § 41, &c.).
Their name is variously written, and
- Mela calls them Σινδόνες (ii. 19),
- Lucian (Tox. 55), Σινδιανοί.
Strabo describes them as living along the Palus Maeotis, and among the Μαιώτες, Dandarii, Toreatae, Agri, Arrechi, Tarpetes, Obidiaceni, Sittaceni, Dosci, and Aspurgiani, among others. (Strab. xi. 2. 11). The Great Soviet Encyclopedia classes them as a tribe of the Maeotae.
In the 5th century BC, the Sindi were subjugated by the Bosporan Kingdom. They left multiple tumuli which, when excavated by Soviet archaeologists, revealed that their culture was heavily Hellenized.
The Sindi were assimilated by the Sarmatians in the first centuries AD.
Besides the seaport of Σίνδη, other towns belonging to the same people were Hermonassa, Γοργιππία, and Αβοράκη. (Strab. xi. 2, et. seq.)
They had a monarchical form of government (Polyaen, viii. 55), and Gorgippia was the residence of their kings. (Strab. l. c.)
Nicolaus Damascenus (p. 160, ed. Orell.) mentions a peculiar custom which they had of throwing upon the grave of a deceased person as many fish as the number of enemies whom he had overcome.
