According to tractate Yoma, in the Talmud, Tiras is the ancestor of Persia. The Persian historian Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari (c. 915) recounts a tradition that Tiras had a son named Batawil, whose daughters Qarnabil, Bakht, and Arsal became the wives of Cush, Put, and Canaan, respectively. The mediaeval Hebrew compilation, the "Chronicles of Jerahmeel", aside from quoting "Yosippon" as above, also provides a separate tradition of Tiras' sons elsewhere, naming them as "Maakh, Tabel, Bal’anah, Shampla, Meah", and "Elash". This material was ultimately derived from Pseudo-Philo (ca. 75 AD), extant copies of which list Tiras' sons as "Maac, Tabel, Ballana, Samplameac", and "Elaz". Another medieval rabbinic text "Book of Jasher" (7:9) records the sons of Tiras as "Benib, Gera, Lupirion", and "Gilak", and in 10:14, it asserts that "Rushash, Cushni", and "Ongolis" are among his descendants. An earlier (950 AD) rabbinic compilation, the "Yosippon", similarly claims Tiras' descendants to be the "Rossi" of "Kiv", i.e. Kievan Rus, listing them together with his brother Meshech's supposed descendants as "the Rossi; the Saqsni and the Iglesusi". English theologian John Gill (1697-1771) about Tiras affirmed that "[interpreted] better the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem, and so a Jewish chronologer, by Thracia; for the descendants of Thiras, as Josephus observes, the Greeks call Thracians; and in Thrace was a river called Atyras, which has in it a trace of this man's name; and Odrysus, whom the Thracians worshipped, is the same with Tiras, which god sometimes goes by the name of Thuras; and is one of the names of Mars, the god of the Thracians.". Tiras was also worshipped by his descendants as Thuras (Thor), the god of war, while the river Athyras was also named after him, and the ancient city of Troy (Troi, Troia, the Trojans) perpetuates his name, as also does the Taurus mountain range.
