Artakioi was a Moesian tribe mentioned in the Roman period.Cassius Dio (155–235) mentioned the tribe. The ethnonym has been connected with the Roman-era toponyms Artiskos (a tributary of the Maritsa) and Artanes (a tributary of the Danube). The tribe inhabited the region of the upper Tundzha river, a tributary of Maritsa. It is believed that they spoke a Thracian language.
When I stand, I fall
A Glimpse of life, wakes me
Still I linger, linger in failure
As it stands
Life is a failure
A Fragile offering
Crippling me with human sound
I betrayed myself...again
Again I sigh
Nothing here...
I feel betrayed
And yet I betray myself
As I take hold and breed joy
