PASA´RGADAE
PASA´RGADAE (
Πασαργάδαι), according to Herodotus, one of the three chief tribes of the ancient Persians (1.125); according to other writers, a people of the adjoining province of Carmania (
Ptol. 6.8.12;
Dionys. A. R. 5.1069).
The probability is, that they were the inhabitants of Pasargadae in Persis.
