Arsiyah
Arsiyah (other forms of the word include - ''Lariçiyeh'', ''al-Larisiya'') was the name used for a group of Muslim mercenaries in the service of the Khazar Khaganate. Whether the Arsiyah were a single tribe or composed of Muslims from a number of different tribes is unclear. Also unclear is their origin; many historians regard them as deriving from Khwarazm, but some scholars point to the fact that "As" is the Turkic term for Alans and believe that the Arsiyah were Alanic in origin. Other scholars derive the name from Iranian ''Auruša'' (white). According to Arabic text with French translation ''"Les Prairies d'or"'' translated by Barbier de Meynard and Pavet de Courteille. This word reads correctly from Arabic as - ''lariçiyeh''. Which, according to the ''"Book of the Huns"'' by Alexandre Vincent, is translated from the Khazar language - ''guards''.Vincent 2016, ''«Book of the Huns»'' - Part I, Chapter ''"The Khazarian language"'' p. 26, 27.
