The Dandarii or Dandaridae were an ancient people dwelling along the

Azov sea. In the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, they were concluded to have been one of the ancestors to the Circassians.[2] Maeotae were engaged in farming and fishing. In the 4th–3rd centuries BC many of the Maeotae tribes were included into the Bosporan Kingdom.[3]
