Abdullah, before to quote for me (thanks in anyway), better to know
first: that Tibisia is not *Tibisia is REALLY attested as TIBISIA at
Iordanes (where MARISIA, CRISIA are attested too etc...)

So your question above 'reconstruction and speculation'? doesn't have
ANY SENSE...TIBISIA is really attested!

Next: Latin Tiberis < *Tibesis and Dacian Tibisia are 'almost the
same word'...

Marius

P.S. : In this conditions to say (it wasn't you) that 'Tiberis is an
Etruscan name' is a non-sense.
