Thank you, Steppenwolf, for this professional explanation and welcome to the forum!

Thank you very much for the warm welcome! I'm an amateur, hopefully in the positive sense

Atticism: even the iota adscripa are there, although they had ceased to be pronounced long ago.

By the way: the long string of genitives

но проблемът е, че на старогръцки "Анхиало" се пише като "ΑГΧΙΑΛΟΣ", тоест с "Г".

Here Γ reprerents not a /g/ but a /ŋ/ sound. Nowadays /ŋ/ is always written as Γ but two thousand years ago, the spelling having not yet been standardized, /ŋ/ was written as Ν as well.

Today writing Ν instead of Γ is a quite common mistake, e.g. http://www.tripadvisor.com.gr/Tourism-g3224063-Nea_Ankhialos_Magnesia_Region_Thessaly-Vacations.html

When Γ represents /ŋ/, it is transliterated as N, e.g. Anchialos (not *Agchialos).

The ancient Greek name of /ŋ/ is ἄγμα.

Другото странно нещо е, че второто име на стратега е записано като "ΕΤΑΙΚΕΝΘΟΥ", тоест липсва едно "П".

To err is human
