Zikhi

(also Zigi; Georgian, dzhiki), an ancient tribal federation in the northwestern Caucasus, first mentioned, by Strabo, in the first century B.C. They inhabited the coastal highland region between present-day Novorossiisk and Gagra. The Zikhi engaged in farming and livestock breeding and also in piracy; they were the chief suppliers of slaves to the cities of the Bosporus. By the turn of the ninth century “Zikhiia,” under the rule of its chiefs, had become a country of some importance. The Zikhi were mentioned for the last time in 15th-century sources. They were an important element in the ethnogeny of the Abkhazians and the Adyg ethnic group of the northwestern Caucasus.
