A side from that issue, there is the general question of how entries are arranged. There is a great deal of material in these pages, and I am trying to conserve db by keeping pictorial files to a minimum. Not every place has comments yet, but I hope to add at least something to every area I deal with at some point. This is one of the thorniest issues in comparative chronology. A moments reflection will make it clear that a person's name is not nearly so obvious and clear an object as might be assumed at first glance.
Languages shift and change and dialects raise their heads.
A common name in one speech may be transliterated into a neighboring language, often with surprising results. One has the choice of utilizing the vernacular wherever possible, or sticking to an arbitrary standard. I have chosen the latter course, since I want these pages to be as understandable and readable as possible. Therefore, I have used modern English equivalents wherever they exist. You, as a viewer of these pages though, should be aware that it is a convention, and an arbitrary one at that.
