To their south were the remnants of the Skythioi; east of these the various groups of the Bosporos and north, north-east of them the Sauromatae: there was some relative distance...
But the proximity wasn't the point here, there aren't archaeological, nor written evidences of Sauros living in that area (or Slavs so far south); what exactly would justify the factional status for the slavic units?
