Apasiacae

Apasiacae is the name of a nomadic tribe belonging to the Massagetae. The Apasiacae lived in between of Oxus and the Tanais River, which in this context meant the east coast of the Aral Sea. That is,  "Tanais" here means either the Syr Darya (Jaxartes River), or Amu Darya (Oxus River), to the west of Bactria. The Parthian king Arsaces I fled to these people ca. 230 B.C. from Seleucus II Callinicus.

Seleucid Empire 
The Parthians with the Apasiacae carried out revolts which broke out to regions to west of the Seleucid Empire and prevented the current war they were involved in.
