Epeirotes in Arpi - how to call them?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Hi,

I want to know how I could call the Epeirotes in my Makedonian campaign. I drove them out of Hellas, and captured Taras, and they are reduced to Arpi now. They have two family members left, Pyrrhichos Aiakides, and another one not belonging to the royal family, who is currently faction leader.



Epeirotai doesn't seem fit, since all three Epeirotean tribes are under Makedonian rule.
Tarantinoi not really since they lost Taras and won't regain it.
Aiakides? Their ruler is not an Aiakides at the moment, and the fate of Pyrrhichos is quite unclear at the moment.

Has anybody an idea?

Edit: I'm at war with Rome at the moment due to a failed assassination attempt. I'll give up Taras definitely because I really really don't want to roll them up to Gallia Cisalpina at this stage of my campaign. Should I pass it to the Epeirotes? I'm forcedly at peace with them, because the Romans made them protectorate, and since I was allied to Rome at this time my 2nd Epeirote war came to an unwanted halt.

they're the Samniti

Give Taras to Epeiros. It's easier than trying to fight the Romans.

Samniti Epeirotai. Samnites under Epirote leadership.

Yes, exactly, but sadly the Romaioi put Taras under siege before I could get my diplomat to the Epeirotes. You sadly can't give away settlements under siege. And so the Romans attacked it and captured it. I had only four Hoplitai Haploi there, I've sailed my real army to Aitolia a few seasons ago.

Now I'm in an alliance with the Romaioi again, one turn after they captured Taras. So no Taras for Epeiros.

You can always use Force Diplomacy to take it from the Romans and give to the Epirotes.

Well, I have a few propositions for you;
1) Samnitai, which is greek for Samnites. So they're basically Hellenic-ruled Samnites.
2) Italohellenes, or Italo-greeks in greek. They represent the ''free'' italic tribes ruled by the remnants of the Pyrrhic dynasty of Epeiros, seeking refuge in Megale Hellas.
3) Taras, after giving them the city itself to represent a free and again powerful city-state with Epeirotic rulers, refugees from Epeiros itself.
