Dickson, London, Macmillan, 1909.> the names of Costobocii king, Pieporus, as well other names related with them, as Bithoporus (another Costoboci king) and Natoporus, are all Dacian names.
  • the fact that they are show in Sarmatia too, first by Pliny the Elder, must be either a confusion, either the fact that during Burebista expansion in east (when he conquered and incorporated in his empire city of Olbia, near Crimeea), some Dacian tribes moved more in east as well (logical, especialy since they are first mentioned exactly in that period).

Pliny the Elder didnt clearly say they are Sarmatians, but that they live there. This doesnt mean they are really Sarmatians, but can be as much as well Dacians.
