[[Pelagonia]] and [[Paionia]] and Almopia were to the north of Lynkestis, Eordaia to the southwest, [[Bottiaia]] to the east, and the [[Haliacmon]] river at some distance to the south.<br /> <br /> The names of Upper Macedonian rulers are often not apparently [[Greece|Greek]] (&#039;&#039;Arrhabaios&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Sirrhas&#039;&#039;), and scholars such as Eugene Borza have used this to argue that the Macedonians of Upper Macedonia retained many of the original Macedonian names later lost among the Macedonians to the south. Others argue these names may be in fact Hellenic although many do not yet have clear Hellenic etymologies, while others argue that the names were borrowed from Illyrians or [[Paionians]] or [[Thracians]]. <br /> <br /> The Macedonian tribes of Lynkestis ([[Greek language|Greek]]: the Land of the [[Lynx]]) were known as &#039;&#039;Lynkestai&#039;&#039;. <br /> <br /> In Book VII. Chapter VII. 8. Getae, [[Macedonia]], [[Black Sea]], Strabo says the rulers of Lyncestis, under [[Arrhabaeus]], claimed descent of the race of the Bacchiadae of [[Corinth]]. Strabo goes on to say Irra was the daughter [[Arrhabaeus]], and his grand-daughter was [[Eurydice]], the mother of [[Philip Amyntas]]. <br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> [[Heraclea Lyncestis]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *Errington, Robert Malcolm, &#039;&#039;History of Macedonia&#039;&#039;, [[1986]] <br /> *Strabo, &#039;&#039;Book VII- Getae, Macedonia, Black Sea&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> {{Credit wikipedia}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ancient Macedon]]</div>
