Strabo describes them as living among the Maeotae, Sindi, Dandarii, Toreatae, Agri, Arrechi, Tarpetes, Sittaceni, Dosci, and Aspurgiani, among others. 〔Strab. xi. 2. 11〕 The Obidiaceni is one of the Maeotae tribes, who lived in the 1st millennium BC on the east and the southeast coast of the Azov sea.
