'But now at last, early it seems, in the Flavian era, if nor still in the reign of Nero, a national hero had arisen, who, like other such heroes, bore many names, but whom it is agreed to call Decebalus.
...
The Dacian king in A.D. 86-87 is variouly called
Diuppaneus (C.I.L: VI, 16903),
Dorphaneus (Jordanes Get. 1, 3),
Diurpaneus (Orosius VII, 10, 4).
Corradi's view (Ap. Dix. Epig.) that all these are variants of an earlier name of the "Decebalus" of the Dacian wars seems acceptable.'
Or it's his title, župan.
(and diurpan = Turkish çolban?)
