The name Attacotti (also Atecotti, A(t)ticotti, Ategutti) appears in several late Roman texts. The historian Ammianus Marcellinus includes this ‘warlike race of men’ (bellicosa hominum natio) in a list of peoples disturbing Roman Britain c.364-7, including the Scots, Picts and Saxons. Ammianus' contemporary St. Jerome (writing c.393-7) claims that in his youth he personally saw some Attacotti in Gaul. Jerome highlights the promiscuous marriage customs and savage cannibalism of this ‘British people’ (gens Britannica), apparently identifying Attacotti with classical reports of polyandry practised by the ancient Britons and of cannibalism among the peoples of Ireland. If there is any truth to Jerome’s rhetorical allusion, he probably saw Attacotti already in Roman service, presumably during his stay at the western capital Trier (c.365-70). Certainly by c.395 some Attacotti had been recruited into the Roman Army and the Notitia Dignitatum lists three regiments bearing this title stationed in Gaul, Italy and Illyricum, though it is doubtful that these units remained ethnically distinct. Hostile Attacotti are not recorded after c.367. ...more on Wikipedia about "Attacotti"

Because of geographical isolation, the Baltic languages retain a number of conservative or archaic features. Among the Baltic peoples are modern Lithuanians and Latvians as well as the Prussians, Yotvingians and Curonians, whose languages were extinct in the Middle Ages. ...more on Wikipedia about "Balts"

Cantabri was an ancient tribe which inhabited the north coast of Hispania near Santander and Bilbao and the mountains behind a district hence known as Cantabria (all in modern Spain). Savage and untameable mountaineers, they long defied the Roman arms and made themselves a name for wild freedom. They were first attacked by the Romans about 150 BC. They were not subdued till Agrippa and Augustus had carried out a series of campaigns known as the Cantabrian Wars ( 29- 19 BC) which ended in their partial annihilation. Thenceforward their land was part of the province Hispania Tarraconensis with some measure of local self-government. They became slowly Romanized, but developed little town life and are rarely mentioned in history. They provided recruits for the Roman auxilia, like their neighbors the Astures, and their land contained lead mines, of which, however, little is known. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cantabri"
Caphtor is the land of the Biblical Caphtorim ( Egyptian Keftiu, Mari Kaptara), said in Gen. 10 to descend from Ham's son Mizraim (Egypt). It has been etymologically linked to Cyprus while other suggestions identify it variously as Crete, and the nearby coasts of Anatolia. By some accounts, both Cyprus and Crete together were known as "the isles of the Caphtorim", and perhaps of significance is the fact that the earliest Minoan script used on Crete seems to have been hieroglyphics. The name is found written in hieroglyphics in the temple of Kom Ombo in Upper Egypt and possibly in the Egyptian tomb of Rekhmire. ...more on Wikipedia about "Caphtor"
The Carians ( Greek Καρες Kares, or Καρικοι Karikoi) were the eponymous inhabitants of Caria. According to tradition, the Carians were named after Car, one of their legendary early kings ( Herodotus, 1.171). Classical Greeks would often claim that Caria was originally colonized by Ionian Greeks, but it seems rather that the Carians were settled in the region before the Greeks. Homer records that Miletus (later an Ionian city) was a Carian city at the time of the Trojan War ( Iliad, 2.865), and Herodotus (1.171) recorded that Carians believed themselves to be aborigenes of Caria. ...more on Wikipedia about "Carians"
