What is "peresadyes"

Peresadyes, were a tribe that lived in the ancient region of Illyria and ruled over, or with the Encheleans, or the Sesarethi, and were part of the Taulantii group of tribes. About their classification they had been identified as Illyrian tribe, however, recent research has strengthened the possibility that they were Thracians.

The name itself is very close to Thracian Berisades , suggesting a possible Thracian origin. The Peresadyes also seem to have had contact with Thracians. It has been suggested theat they weren't a distinct Illyrian tribe, but a part of the Dardani. They gave birth to what later became the Bardyllis dynasty, eventually ruling the Dardanii themselves. Strabo recorded what most likely Hecataeus wrote about them, saying that they joined the dynasty of the Encheleans and the term Sesarethii is used as a synonym for Peresyades, but at the same time for Encheleans by Strabo. They ruled the area of modern Trebeništa near lake Ohrid around the 7th century BC, in Macedonia, but declined heavily by 475 BC.
