thrā´shi - a , thrā´shan ( Θρακία , Thrakı́a ): The name given to the country lying between the rivers Strymon and Danube. Mention is made of a Thracian horseman in 2 Maccabees 12:35 . The cavalry of this fierce people were in demand as mercenaries in all countries. In 46 AD T hrace became the name of a Roman province. Some have sought a connection between Thracia and the TIRAS (which see) of Genesis 10:2 , but the identification is conjectural.
