In case anyone cares, I think these are the cannibals related to this legend: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
It may very well be those guys.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is a version of the Alexander Romance based on the Historia de Preliis, which contains the anchiton and antichiton among the latin text. (p. 274) There is also a French version of the legend, which is itself based on the Hebrew translation which the study is about.
So we have a Greek legend translated into Latin then Hebrew then French... which is why there are nuggets of greek in the latin.
The author gives a few additional details: that the cannibals were "beyond scythia" and that the two mountains were called Practanicon and Boreon.
