Priscus fr. 30 Carolla. See already under
alpha 18 and
alpha 820. The Saragouri were a Turkic people expelled from their territory by the Savirs (cf.
alpha 18 note) between 461 and 465 CE; cf. Macartney (266) and Howorth (622-624). The Roman emperor Leo I (ruled 457-474, cf.
lambda 267) favorably received their embassy (cf. Blockley (344-345)) and thereafter the Saragouri were allowed to settle along the Volga River and north of the Black Sea (cf. Macartney op. cit.).
