Vitii

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vitii is an ancient tribe that lived on the territory of Caucasian Albania and today in village Nic Qabala region Azerbaijan udins [1][2] Some scholars believe that the Vitii were Caucasian Albanians,[3][4] while others consider them to have migrated to the Caucasus by the ancient Greeks.[5] Some consider the Vitii to be the ancestors of the modern Udins, but according to other statements, these two tribes could live at the same time.[6][7][8] V.V. Nikolaev identifies the Vitii with Gutians.[9] A.A. Tuallagov describes the Vitii as Caucasian Tocharians and says that they came from the territory of the Yuezhi tribe.[10][11]

According to Strabo, on their lands there was a city in Albania, where the Thessalians from the Ainian tribe lived; according to another version, “Ainians” is a distortion of the local name “Utii” or “Vitii”.[12] In Armenian sources, their land was called "Otena".[13][14] In addition, Strabo mentions one more tribe of Vitii who lived north of the tribes of Albanians and Caspians on the shores of the Caspian Sea.[15] According to Pliny, the Vitii and Albanians made up the majority in the territory of ancient Sakasene, which was located in the area of present-day Nagorno-Karabakh.[16] Igor M. Diakonoff claims that some of the Uti were part of the Scythian kingdom in the Transcaucasia.[17]
