- Not to be confused with the Sindhi people.
The
Sindi (
Greek: , Herod. iv. 28) were an ancient people in the
Taman Peninsula and the adjacent coast of the
Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea), in the district called Sindica, which spread between the modern towns of
Temryuk and
Novorossiysk (Herod.
l. c.; Hipponax. p. 71, ed. Welck.; Hellanic. p. 78; Dionys. Per. 681;
Steph. B. p. 602; Amm. Marc. xxii. 8. § 41, &c.). Their name is variously written, and Mela calls them
Sindones (ii. 19), Lucian (Tox. 55),
Sindianoi.
