Oebarsius or Aybars [1] [2] (died after 448) [3] was a Hun nobleman, brother of Mundzuk and uncle of Bleda and Attila.
He was held in great honor, and sat next to Attila at royal banquets. [4] Oebarsius was probably never a king, [3] and had no dominion of his own. [5] He was still alive in 448. [3]
Pritsak considered that the name is a transcription of Turkic Oibars, meaning "yellow leopard" (hence "lion"). [6] According to Hyun Jin Kim, his name is connected to Turkic Aybars, meaning "leopard of the moon", an ongon in the Turkic mythology. [7] There are other opinions about the affinity of his name with Oebasus, the Latin form of an Iranian name. [8] His name, possibly as many other recorded by Priscus, might have been Grecisized. [9]

The Akatziri, Akatzirs or Acatiri were a tribe that lived north of the Black Sea, though the Crimean city of Cherson seemed to be under their control in the sixth century. Jordanes called them a mighty people, not agriculturalists but cattle-breeders and hunters. Their ethnicity is undetermined: the 5th-century historian Priscus describes them as ethnic Scythians, but they are also referred to as Huns. Their name has also been connected to the Agathyrsi. However, according to E. A. Thompson, any conjectured connection between the Agathyrsi and the Akatziri should be rejected outright.
