a párthusok a szkiták leszármazottjai (a nevük jelentése elpártolók)

In Justinus' Epitome of Pompeius Trogus' Philippic Histories it stated;

"The Parthians, in whose hands the empire of the east now is, having divided the world, as it were, with the Romans, were originally exiles from Scythia. This is apparent from their very name; for in the Scythian language exiles are called Parthi." [41.2]^[1]
