In an article about Thracian Language we can read

2 very interesting words:

Ἀγριᾶνες/Ἐργῖνος

P. Dimitrov notes that the 

а/е

 alternation was 

characteristic of a vast area with dierent languages in Southeastern Europe and Asia, but it is not theoretically argumented (Димитров 1994: 73–90). As the variants written with <A> and <E> are not geographically separated

and both occur to the north and to the south of the Haemus Mountain, and often with the same geographic or personal name in the same area, 

I believe that the variation is not due to linguistic or dialectal dierence. 

The explanation of J. Puhvel and C. Poghirc seems m

In this article we read further:

"P. Dmitrow notes that the a/e alternation was characteristic of a vast area with different languages in Southeastern Europe and

Yanakieva shows us

Ἀγριᾶνες/Ἐργῖνος 

as examples for these linguistic changes. 

I see there 2 very Turkish word. Agrianes > Argın

and Erginos > Ergin

Let us begin with Ergin!

Acc. to Wiki:

Ἐργῖνος

Erginos / Erginus was a King who was born in Ancient Greek, as a member of Minyans, an autochthonous group of people to Ancient Greece. 

(He had a brother called Ἄρρωνος / Arrhon. (again a nice Turkish word?Erhan?)

Etymology unknown.

Now it is my turn: Ergin(os) is a military rank among Ancient Turks. It means "the mature", "the experienced". 

It is possible that a man with this title is a Clan-Cheiftain, isn't it?

Secondly we see the name Agrianes.

It could be Argin(es) through metathesis.

They were good soldiers.

There is a Nogay (Western Turkish Tribe, Kipchak) clan called ARGIN.
