Yes we know. We're talking about the late offspring of these as they were migrating on to Poland-Ukraine during
medieval times and then on to Israel taking with them a conception of themselves as Scythians=Ashkenazim.

I wouldn't put it so but maybe through intermarriage they gradually became merged with remaining and returning
Scythians, finally absorbing age-old Scythian place names and with it some Scythian-land-identity and taking that
with them to Poland and finally to Israel, where all jews from Eastern Europe were to be identified as
Ashkenazim=Scythians.
