Geographical Notes
northern neighbours of the Scythians; next to Scythia, Along the River Hypanis to the west of the Borysthenes; Herodotus description matches modern geography in the following manner:
Ister = Danube
Tyras = Dnestr
Borysthenes = Dniepr
Gerrοs = Konskaya (a tributary of the Dniepr)
Tanais = Don
Hypanis = Southern Bug, flowing into the Black Sea
Great lake = Podlesie Marshes, by the Bialowieza Forest. Wild Tarpans from the Bialowieza Forest seasonally faded to near white in winter.
Hypakyris = Kalanchak
Geographically, the upper Hypanis merges with the Narew river, which is called Naura in Baltic Lithuanian. The people living on the Naura river were West Balts at that time. There remains a town named Nur, Poland along the upper Bug River, near the Bialowieza Forest. The Nurzec River is in same region.
