They changed organisation but this name stayed. There is some problem with lochoi - Warry states that lochagos was commander...

Re: Looking at the Triballians

Well I had the same thoughts reading it. They tried to encircle Alex or just withdraw to draw him from their villages but with the plan of attack.
As for second part of Your thread I have no idea but I'm also interested if the island still exist there. Regards
