From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dareitai (Ancient Greek: Δαρεῖται) were an ancient Iranian tribe whose land made up a special and large part of Media.[1] The Dareitai and Pantimati people may have been part of the Cadusii.[2]
According to Herodotus, the Dareitai were part of the XI satrapy, which also included the Caspians, Pantimati, Pausicae and possibly the Cadusii.[1] During the time of the Achaemenid empire, the dareitai paid 200 talents to the royal treasury.[3] Igor M. Diakonoff, referring to Ptolemy and Pliny, emphasized the special connection of the dareitai with Media.[4] Ancient historians mention the dareitai in Gilan and Mazandaran.[5] According to other sources, the dareitai were located near Caspiane.[6]
