Phrygians - Brigians

Quote: "Οι δε Φρύγες ως Μακεδόνες λέγουσι εκαλέοντο Βρίγες χρόνο όσον Ευρωπήϊοι εόντες σύνοικοι ήσαν Μακεδόσι, μεταβάντες δε εις την Ασίαν άμα την χώρα και τούνομα μετέβαλλον εις Φρύγας "

"Phrygians, as Macedonians say, were called Briges as long time as they were Europeans residing with Macedonians, but when they moved to Asia changed their name simultaneusly with their homeland"

Herodotus VII 73


Brieg > Breg > hills from IE , V., bergen, verwahren and IE (1), V., tragen, bringen;

"Βέδυ γαρ τους Φρύγας το ύδωρ καλείν"

"Οι δε Αιγύπτιοι νομίζουσι Φρύγας προτέρους γενέσθαι εαυτών, των δε άλλων εαυτούς"

"Egyptians consider that Phrygians are more ancient than them, but Egyptians are more ancient than any other people"

Herodotus B 2
