ΑΡΓΥΡΟΚΑΣΤΡΟΝ (Πόλη) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
Argyrini (Argurinoi), an Epirote people dwelling on the Ceraunian
mountains, whose name is probably preserved in Arghyrokastro, a place near the
river Dhryno, and a few miles south of the junction of this river with the Aous.
Cramer, following Meletius and Mannert, erroneously suppose Arghyrokastro to represent
the site of Antigoneia. (Lycophr. 1017; Steph. B. s. v. Argurinoi; Cramer's Greece,
vol. i. p. 98; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. i. p. 78; comp. Antigoneia; Aous.)
ΕΠΙΔΑΜΝΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
Pathini, (Pathinoi) or Partheni (Parthenoi). An Illyrian people in the neighbourhood of Dyrrhachium.
Parthus, a city in Illyria, near Dyrrachium; hence, Parthini (Par-theni ), orum, m., the inhabitants of Parthus, Parthinians
Partheni, Parthini (Parthenoi, Parthinoi, Parthinoi, Strab. vii. p. 326; Appian, Illyr. 1; Dion Cass. xli. 49; Cic. in Pis. 40; Pomp. Mela, ii. 3. § 11; Plin. iii. 26), a people of Grecian Illyricum, who may be placed to the N. in the neighbourhood of Epidamnus, and, consequently, next to the Taulantii. They. are often mentioned in the course of the war with Illyricum, B.C. 229, but as friends rather than foes of the Romans, having submitted at an early period to their arms. (Polyb. ii. 11; Liv. xxix. 12.) After the death of Philip, king of Macedon, they appear to have been added to the dominions of Pleuratus, an Illyrian prince allied to the Romans. (Polyb. xviii. 30; Liv. xxx. 34, xliv. 30.) Their principal town was Parthus (Parthos, Steph. B. s. v.), which was taken by Caesar in the course of his campaign with Pompeius. (Caes. B.C. iii. 41.) In Leake's map the sits is marked at Ardhenitza(?). The double-hilled Dimallum, the strongest among the Illyrian places, with two citadels on two heights, connected by a wall (Polyb. iii. 18, vii. 9), was within their territory. There is no indication, however, of its precise situation, which was probably between Lissus and Epidamnus. Of Eugenium and Bargulum two other fortresses noticed by Livy (xxix. 12), nothing further is known.

Taulantii (Taulantioi, Ptol. iii. 13. § 3), a people of Roman Illyria, in the neighbourhood of Epidamnus and Dyrrachium. In ancient times they were a powerful tribe, possessing several cities, and governed by their own kings, but subsequently they were reduced to subjection by the kings of Illyria, and at the time when the Romans waged war with Teuts they had sunk into insignificance. (Cf. Thucyd. i. 24; Arrian, Anab. i. 5; Mela, ii. 3; Liv. xlv. 26; Plin. iii. 22. s. 26.) Aristotle relates that they had a method of preparing mead from honey.
ΙΛΛΥΡΙΑ (Αρχαία χώρα) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
Dassaretae, Dassaretii (Dassaretioi, Strab. vii. p. 318; Ptol. iii.
13. § 32; Dassaritai Steph. B. Appian, Illyr. i; Mela, ii. 3. § 11; Plin. iii.
23. s. 26), an Illyrian people whose position can be well ascertained, from their
having occupied the great valley which contained the lake of Lychnitis and the
plains of Koritza. The W. part of Dassaretia was a contrast to the E., consisting
entirely of lofty and rugged mountains, intersected by branches of the river Apsus.
If Berat be the site of Antipatria, it will follow that the Dassaretae possessed
all the lower mountainous country lying between Koritza and Berat, beyond which
latter the frontiers of the Dassaretae met those of the Taulantii Bylliones and
Chaonians of Epirus; on the N. they bordered on the Eordeti and Penestae and partly
on the Taulantii, while to the E. the crest of the great central ridge very naturally
formed the line of demarcation between them and the Pelagones, Brygi, and Orestae,
or in other words, between Illyria and Macedonia. It follows from these boundaries
that Dassaretia was not less than 60 miles in length and as much in breadth, -
an extent such as might be expected from the statement in Polybius (v. 108) who
in addition to the towns on the lake of Lychnitis represents the Phoebatae, Pissantini,
Calicoeni, and Pirustae all as tribes of Dassaretia. (Leake, Trav. in North Greece,
vol. iii. pp. 325, foll.) The Phoebatae chiefly inhabited the valley of the Uzumi,
and the Pissantini that of the Devol. The Pirustae would seem to have been on
the N. frontier of Dassaretia, as they joined the Taulantii and some other more
northerly Illyrians to assist the Romans in the reduction of Gentius. (Liv. xlv.
26). They probably occupied an intermediate tract between the Pissantini on the
lower part of the Devol and the S. extremity of the lake Lychnitis, in which case
there is only the plain of Korytza to the left of the Eordaicus for the situation
of the Calicoeni. The operations of the consul Sulpicius against Philip in the
campaign of B.C. 200, illustrate the ancient geography of this district. The Roman
general marched from Apollonia of Illyria through Dassaretia into Lyncestis. The
open country supplied him with such abundance of grain that he was enabled to
save his own stock while he passed through the plain of Dassaretia, and induced,
him afterwards to send back his foragers thither, though he was encamped in an
equally fertile plain, of which however he had not military possession. (Liv.
xxxi. 33.) On peace being made after the battle of Cynoscephalae, Lychnidus, which
was the principal town of the Dassaretae, was given up to Pleuratus (Liv. xxxiii.
34) the son of Scardilaidas, the Illyrian prince, who in the Social War had struggled
unsuccessfully with Philip for the possession of Dassaretia (Polyb. v. 108.) The
Dassaretae had several towns besides Lychnidus. Gerunium and Atipatria were in
Phoebatis both on the Uzumi; to the E. of these on the Devol may be placed Orgessus
which was a town of the Pissantini; and somewhat nearer to the camp of Sulpicius,
Corragum, Codrion, and Ilium seem to have been in the valley of the Uzumi above
Berat on the slopes of Tomor. Besides these Creonium and Gerus are enumerated,
with four towns on the lake Lychnitis, viz. Enchelariae, Cerax, Sation, and Boii
(Polyb. l. c.). These four towns were, it has been inferred, on its W. shore,
as the Itineraries which followed the E. side of the lake from the bridge of the
Drilo to Lychnidus, make no mention of these places.

Ardiaei (Ardiaioi), an Illyrian people mentioned by Strabo, probably inhabited
Mt. Ardion, which the same geographer describes as a chain of mountains running
through the centre of Dalmatia. (Strab. vii. p. 315.)
Autariatae (Autariatai), described by Strabo (vii. p. 317) as, at one time, the most numerous and bravest of the Illyrians, appear to have bordered to the eastward upon the Agrianes and Bessi, to the south upon the Maedi and Dardani, and in the other directions upon the Ardiaei and Scordisci. (Leake.) We have only a few particulars respecting their history. Strabo relates (l. c.) that they were frequently engaged in hostilities with the Ardiaei respecting some salt-works situated on the confines of both nations; that they once subdued the Triballi; but were in their turn subjugated, first by the Scordisci, and subsequently by the Romans. We also learn from Diodorus (xx. 19) that the Auriatae were likewise conquered by Audoleon, king of Paeonia, who transported 20,000 of them to Mount Orbelus. (Comp. Strab. vii. p. 315; Arrian, Anab. i. 5; Aelian, H. A. xvii. 41; Justin, xv. 2; Appian, Illyr. 3; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. pp. 463, 464.)

Penestae a people of Illyricum, who appear [p. 574] to have--possessed a large
tract of mountainous country 10 the N. of the Dassaretae, and extending to the
E. as far as the frontier of Macedonia, while on the W. and NW. it almost reached
to the Labeates and the dominions of Gentius. (Liv. xliii. 20, 21, 22, 23, 25,
xliv. 11.) The principal city of this warlike tribe was Uscana; besides which
they had the two fortresses of Draudacum and Oaeneum.
