Sattagydia or Thatagush (Old Persian: 𐎰𐎫𐎦𐎢𐏁 Thataguš, country of the "hundred cows") was one of the easternmost regions of the Achaemenid Empire, part of its Seventh tax district according to Herodotus, along with Gandārae, Dadicae and Aparytae. It was situated east of the Sulaiman Mountains up to the Indus in the Kurram River basin around Bannu in modern day's southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Sattagydia was no longer mentioned by the third century BC, probably having been absorbed into one of the adjoining provinces.

👉 Thatagush in the context of India (Herodotus)
In ancient Greek geography the basin of the Indus River was on the extreme eastern fringe of the known world. The term "India" (Indikē in Greek) was used by Herodotus and later Greek writers in three different senses: the Achaemenid Persian province Hindush which was at the lower Indus basin (Sindh), the entire Indus land, which contained two other Persian provinces—Thatagush and Gandāra, and the whole of Indian subcontinent. The ethnic term "Indians" (Indoi) was most often used for Indians in the modern sense, represented by physical appearance and cultural markers such as wearing cotton, driving chariots and carrying iron-tipped arrows.
