Serboi (Σερβοι; also ''Sirboi'') is an ethnonym recorded in Greco-Roman ethnography. It designated an Iranian tribe〔, p. 56; ''around the time of Christ there was an Iranian tribe on the Don known to Greek geographers as Serbi-Serboi''〕 dwelling in Asiatic Sarmatia (north Caucasus), probably by the Lower Volga River. ==Original appearances in Caucasus== Pliny the Younger in his work ''Plinii Caecilii Secundi Historia naturalis'' from the first century AD (69–75) mentioned people named Serbi,〔Aleksandar M. Petrović, Arheografija naroda jugoistočne Evrope, Beograd, 2006, page 19.〕 who lived near the Cimmerians, presumably on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. In the 2nd century (around 175 AD), the Egyptian scientist Claudius Ptolemy mentioned in his ''Geography'' people named Serboi or Sirboi,〔 who presumably lived behind the Caucasus, in the hinterland of the Caspian Sea.
