[edit] Why Greek?

I'm curious why the city is supposedly built by Greeks. The name Tanais doesn't mean anything in Greek, so probably was adopted to Greek language from some other language. Probably eventually Greeks migrated there?--61.68.124.64 08:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Just read carefully the article: the site of Tanais was occupied long before the Greeks founded an emporium there, named after the river.--Barbatus 10:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
