Ariapeithes
(
Ἀριαπείθης), a king of the Scythians, the father of Scyles, was treacherously killed by Spargapeithes, the king of the Agathyrsi. Ariapeithes was a contemporary of Herodotus, for he tells us that he had from Tinines, the guardian of Ariapeithes, an account of the family of Anacharsis. (
