Khinialon or Chinialon or Chinialus (Χινιαλών; undetermined origin[1]) was chieftain of the Kutrigurs. In 551 he came from the "western side of the Maeotic Lake" to assist the Gepids at the war with Lombards with 12,000 Kutrigurs.[2] Later along with the Gepids they plundered the Byzantine lands.[2] However, Emperor Justinian I (527–565) through diplomatic persuasion and bribery dragged the Kutrigurs and Utigurs into mutual warfare.[3][4] Utigurs led by Sandilch attacked the Kutrigurs, who suffered great losses.[4]
