    bear in mind that coding ethnicities is a nightmare, and until the system is done, I will not want to bother any poor coder to write hundreds upon hundreds of lines only to have some of it changed. Please understand that we are aware of this issue, but that it may take a while to address.
    I wasn't aware of technical difficulties of course it is not that necessary
    As for the name of Arsaces, the reason why we made our choice is derived from the Aramaic inscriptions on the numismatics; Arsaces in Parthian (Aramaic script) is spelled 'ršk which is transliterated to Aršak. In Greek, it is written Αρσακης. With very few exceptions only the name Αρσακης occurs on the coins of the Parthian kings in its genitive form ΑΡΣΑΚΟΥ. Of course, Ashk and Arshkân/Ashkân are just as valid as they are more attested in later Pahlavî works of the Sassanians, books such as the Ardâ Vîrâz attest of this. We chose something more contemporary. There will always be debate about his name, but in the length we have not conducted any faulty research.
    I believe in you man ... I'm sure you did your best and these names are the currect ones. I asked because I want to learn something from you in fact ,Thanks a lot
    I'm surprised however that no one has disputed Phrâpâtês and Arsaces "The Elder"; These two men are even more obscure and only the most brief of mentions saved them from being erased from history.
    Actually these names were question for me when I began my Pahlava campaign ,However I wanted ask this question with some others at once from you in private ,But I forgot to ask you now Now could you explain more?

    BTW you gave life to this faction ,My regards
