Parietae
The Parietae or Paryetae, were a tribe,[1] in the district of Paropamisis,[2][3] in Bactria near the Hinu Kush ranges in northern Afghanistan during antiquity.[4]
During the Hellenistic and Persian Empires they lived in the satrapy of the Paropanisadai,[5] but latter came under the rule of Demetrius I of Bactria, ruling Greek Bactria from Kupisa.[6][7]
