Question about Epirote Ethnicities

I think only KH can get the Spartan ethnicity. Makedonia and probably Epeiros and the successors just have the general "Hellene" ethnicity for all people from southern Hellas.

Some ethnicities do require you to own a territory before you can get them, however some other ethnicities can be gained even if you don't own the homeland of the person.

Actually, I meant marriage but it seems I could be wrong. Though I am quite certain I've had a guy with the "Spartiates" trait... Oh well

It doesn't necessarily check that you hold the province, but whether you have at some point held it.

So does this mean that I can't get a syracusan FM unless I first conquer Syracuse? I ask because in my 1.0 Epeiros campaign I got one without having the city and I need one this time for role playing reasons.

No, Epeiros can get Syrakousians from the start.
