The Prut was known in Antiquity as the Pyretus (Ancient Greek: Πυρετός, romanized: Pyretós), or Scythian Porata (possibly),[6] Hierasus (Ἱέρασος, Hiérasos) or Gerasius.[7] Herodotus lists the Prut, under the name of Porata or Pyretus, as being among the five rivers flowing through the Scythian country which swell the Danube.[8] In the second volume of the Ottoman-Bulgarian chronicles of Iman "Jagfar Tarihi" (1680) the Prut River is referred to as Burat. And in the Byzantine treatise of Constantine Porphyrogennetos "On the management of the empire" it is mentioned as the Brut river (Chap. 38) or as Burat (Chapter 42).
