::That makes sense; on the other hand I might start those seven articles for the "great satrapies" (as Jacobs calls them), if we feel that he is not travelling in the realms of fantasy. Meanwhile I'll look at the article at livius.org.
::It seems to me that ''Encyclopaedia Iranica'' has just recently been reorganising its files; reference is now easier. It is an excellent resource. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 11:22, 31 Maii 2010 (UTC)
:::Hi Andrew, I have read Jacobs’ article on Achaemenid satrapies, and I must say I am impressed. The picture Jacobs offers seems to be very consistent and to solve most of the contradictions in the source material. I think you are right in adopting its conclusions in your article. However, just as in the primary sources, so in our articles the ambiguity of names (e.g. [[Persis]] designating both a Great Satrapy, a Main Satrapy and a Minor Satrapy – not to mention the ancient kingdom and the present Iranian province), will be a source of much confusion. I will be away for the next two weeks, but I wish you luck on the article! --[[Usor:Fabullus|Fabullus]] 08:56, 6 Iunii 2010 (UTC)
