TheTyrageti,Tyragetae, orTyrangitae (Greek:Τυραγγεῖται,Tυραγγέται, orΤυρεγέται,Strabo vii.;Ptol. iii. 5. § 25), literally, theGetae of theTyras, were a sub-tribe of the Getae, situated on the riverTyras (modern-dayDniester inMoldova andUkraine). They were regarded as an immigrant tribe of EuropeanSarmatia dwelling east of the river Tyras, near theCarpii andTagri, and, according to Ptolemy, the northern neighbours ofLower 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.
