Oebarsius

Oebarsius or Aybars[1][2] (died after 448)[3] was a Hun nobleman, brother of Mundzuk and uncle of Bleda and Attila.

He was held in great honor, and sat next to Attila at royal banquets.[4] Oebarsius was probably never a king,[3] and had no dominion of his own.[5] He was still alive in 448.[3]

His name has affinity with Oebasus, the Latin form of an Iranian name.[6] His name, possibly as many other recorded by Priscus, might have been Grecisized.[7]
