Probably not an Indo-European people. According to Tukidydes, they arrived in Sicily from the Iberian Peninsula from the Sikanos River (modern Jucar), driven from there by the Ligurians, with whom they were linguistically related. Some contemporary scholars put their native land on the Seine, from where they first reached southern Italy (Calabria, Apulia), and then to Sicily (Trinacria). After the migration of Elymian and Sykul they occupied central Sicily. Their main cities were: Herbita, Camicus, Agyrium, Adranum, Enna and Omphaces.
