The Hungarian linguist Janos Harmatta wrote:Consequently, from among the "hostile peoples" the second tribe were the Cadiseni, well known in Greco-Roman and Eastern sources.
[3] According to Procopius, "The Cadiseni, who were fighting at that moment under the command of Pityaxes, suddenly rushed in large numbers, defeated their enemy and, strongly crowded together, killed many of them.
When this was noticed by the people under the command of Sunicas and Aigan (both Massagetae[4] (Huns) by origin), they rushed at them at full speed.
But first, three hundred Geruli, under the command of Pharas, entered the rear of the enemy from a height and made a wonderful demonstration of valor against all of them, and especially against the Cadiseni.
At least three thousand people died on the right wing of the Persians, and the rest with difficulty went into the phalanx and were saved.
