Well I agree with you abouth being a difference, but I have difficulties
in "translating" mentaly the expresion "historical Dacians". On another
hand if for you names as Balamar, Roua, Blendea, ar Germanic or Scythian
names, then let them be Germanic or Scythians. I guess these names are
to find in the military elite of Atilla. Since the name's seems to me
very "rumanised" I profite of this passage for asking if anyone has idea
where to find something about the name of the Atilla's leaders. The
author where I read it "forget" it seems, to give an reference here. I
have no idea if Priscus was the one who speak about these names..
