LEGAE

LEGAE (Λῆγαι, Strab. 11. p. 503; Λῆγες, Plut. Pomp. 35), a people on the shores of the Caspian, situated between Albania and the Amazones, and belonging to the Scythian stock. (Theophanes, ap. Strab. l. c. ) The name survives, it has been conjectured, in the modern Lesghi, the inhabitants of the E. region of Caucasus. (Comp. Potocki, Voyage dans les Steps d'Astrakhan, vol. 1. p. 239.)
