Saka

The Saka (Old Persian Sakā; Sanskrit शाक Śāka; Greek Σάκαι; Latin Sacae; Old Chinese: *Sək) were a Scythian tribe or group of tribes of Iranian origin.

Greek and Latin texts suggest that the term Scythians referred to Iranic tribes from the much more extensive region of Scythia, which included parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
