From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Scythian
    The Scythians consisted of "all the pastoral tribes who dwelt to
    the north of the Black Sea and the Caspian, and were scattered
    far away toward the east. Of this vast country but little was
    anciently known. Its modern representative is Russia, which, to
    a great extent, includes the same territories." They were the
    descendants of Japheth (Gen. 9:27). It appears that in apostolic
    times there were some of this people that embraced Christianity
    (Col. 3:11).
