Cadiseni
The Cadiseni were an ancient tribe of Hephtalites that lived in Garchistan even before the appearance of the Xionites.[1][2]
History
The Hungarian linguist
Aigan (both Massagetae[4] (Huns) by origin), they rushed at them at full speed. But first, three hundred Geruli, under the command of Pharas, entered the rear of the enemy from a height and made a wonderful demonstration of valor against all of them, and especially against the Cadiseni. And the Persians, seeing that the troops of Sunicas were already advancing on them from the flank, turned to a hasty flight. And the defeat became complete, because here the Romans joined forces with each other, and the barbarians staged a great massacre. At least three thousand people died on the right wing of the Persians, and the rest with difficulty went into the phalanx and were saved. And the Romans did not continue the pursuit, but both sides stood facing each other in a line. This was the course of these events."[5]
