One of the nations in the Hunnish tribal confederacy.[citation needed] The Akatziroi were ruled by a king called Karadach or Karidachus, and appear in the account of Priscus. Dengizich ruled them after Karadach.[citation needed]
Some scholars[who?] have speculated that the Akatziroi were in fact early Khazars, hypothesizing that their name derives from the Turkic "Ak-Khazar", or "White Khazar", the name of the group of tribes composing the warrior aristocracy of the Khazar nation. Alternatively, some[who?] have suggested that the name refers to the Thraco-Dacian tribe of the Agathyrsi.
