Tiras

Tiras in the Bible is the youngest son of Japheth. Genesis (10, 2) and 1 Chronicles ( 1, 5) include Gomer, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras than the children of Japheth on. It is in all of these strains to the residents of the North.

Flavius ​​Josephus used Tiras in the 6th chapter of his Jewish Antiquities, in which he describes the descendants of Noah as a name, for example. This was called the companies controlled by Thirasier, from which the Greeks Thracians had made. Also in the etymology of Isidore of Seville ( 2.9.31 ) we find this derivation: " Tiras, ex quo Thraces; quorum non satis inmutatum vocabulum est, quasi Tiraces ".

Also, some modern researchers are Tiras same with the Thracians, but it is unlikely that these tribes were already in sight of the chroniclers of the 7th and 6th century.
