According to the Scythian foundation story reported by Herodotus, the Auchatae were a tribe or class of SCYTHIANS descended from LIPOXAÏS, the eldest son of the first Scythian king TARGITAUS (4.6.1). Together with the CATIARI, TRASPIES, and PARALATAE, they constitute the SCOLOTI (“Scythians” in Greek). They may reflect one of the tripartite functions common to Indo‐European societies.
