The factual accuracy of this map is disputed.

[edit]
  • Map is inaccurate, due to the author of the book being sloppy, utterly in its south and south-eastern part;
  • The wiki map maker reproduced the map from the book perfectly and is not to blame, book can be found online, but the map in the book is simply a blunder.
  • The book author seems to have used an old historical map (centuries old) for the tribal locations.
  • But for the extent, just extremely sloppy work.
  • The territory is extended into ancient Paeonia (rendering it non-existent in effect), ancient epirus and the kingdom of ancient macedon.
  • The southern border is extended by 124 miles (200 kilometers) for unknown reasons. Simply a colossal error.
  • The south-eastern border is also extended by a similar distance of around 124 miles (200 kilometers) for unknown reasons. Another blunder by the author.
  • This is like making a map of Portland, Oregon and placing it in Bonanza, Oregon which is a similar distance to the south. Or switching the state of California with the state of Oregon. And getting some action from Nevada as well. 124 miles worth.MaryroseB54 (talk) 12:25, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
