Speaking of whom:
"
Cassander patris succedens in regno annis XXI regnauit, cuius tempore
Galli auxiliario Romanorum milite fines Sicambrorum Mosano flumine
traiecto sæpius infestarunt, quibus fortiter contra pugnauit Borbista
Gothorum rex cum maxima pugnatoru~ exercitu Saxonum fines ingressus,
prædas & incendia fecit. Contra quem rex Cassander cum rege Saxonum
venit, bellum atrox committitur. Borbista rex Gothorum fugit multis
suorum amissis. Iterum postea Borbista reuersus regionem deuastauit,
spoliauit Saxones vsque ad Vistulam fluuium, & retrofugit, Contra
Gallos sæpe pugnauit, sæpe victor, nec minus aliquando spretus
fortuna. Moritur anno ante natiuitatem Christi LXXII. Regni sui anno
XXI.

Interesting that he lets Burebista operate on the Vistula, where
there was a supposedly Dacian town (ending in -dava). He couldn't
have gotten that information from sources we know (unless he started
doing place name research on Ptolemaios).
