Barsilsとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Barsils / Barsilts, Chinese Baysi, were a semi-nomadic Eurasian tribe of Turkic linguistic affiliation, and possibly identical with the Bagrasik. Barsils are first mentioned in the Chinese annals as the 15th of the 15 TurkicTele tribes. The Chinese records about the Western Turkic Kaganate ca. 630 mention a Khan of the Bars (Tr. leopard) tribe, a member of five "Nushibi" (Ch. 弩失畢) on-shadapyt right wing tribes, under a name of Tun-ashpa [ra]-erkin. Barsils are included in the list of steppe people living north of Derbend in the Late Antique Syrian compilation of Zacharias Rhetor, and are also mentioned in documents from the second half of the 6th century AD in connection with the westward migration of the Eurasian Avars. When the Avars arrived, according to Theophylact Simocatta, "the Barsilt (Barsilians), Onogurs, and Sabirs were struck with horror (...) and honoured the new-comers with brilliant gifts."
