This gloss is connected by most scholars with other glosses in Hesychius where the words βερεκύνται, βερεκύνδαι are explained as a name of one of the Phrygian tribes (cf., e.g., βερεκύνται Φρυγών τι γένος,  και πρότερον βερεκυντία η Φρυγία; for a discussion of these glosses cf. Gusmani 1958: 857ff. and Neroznak 1978: 142ff.)

Lubotsky (1988: 13–14, 16) and Woudhuizen (1993: 6) interpret the word wrekun in the Areyastis inscription at Midas City to read either (Lubotsky) “of the Phrygians” or (Woudhuizen) “the Phrygian”.
