Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Agriai (m.), a people of Paionia between Haimos and Rhodope. In Polybios, however, the name is written with α; in book 18 the phrase ‘the people of the Agraoi’ is found. They are also called ‘Agraioi’, in four syllables, and ‘Agrieis’, as per Theopompos. The possessive form is ‘Agrikon’. They are also called ‘Agrianes’, as in the epigram written for Neoptolemos the Pisidian:
I am Neoptolemos, son of Kressos. The Tloeis set me up, one of three brothers, the glory of my spear; for I met Pisidians and Paionians and Agrianes and laid low so many Galatians.
The possessive form is ‘Agrianikos’, as per Charax, in book 2 of his Chronika.
