And this is very, very interesting for all prosfiges:
In the telephone directory of Athens there is only one family name “Meggousoglou” and many similar ones, e.g. Meggos, Meggoulas, Meggidis, Meggisides. Meggousoglou Anastasios happens to be a friend and he had once told me that his family, originally from Caesarea in Asea Minor, came to Greece in 1922 together with many other refugees, when Greece lost the war against Turkey. Once more, by accident like so many other times in the past and when trying to investigate another word in the dictionary, my eye fell on Menggu-Mongolia, Mengguzu-Mongolian nationality and mengguzuren=Mongolian (Mongol). E and O take very often the place of one another (like in Greek “lego”-“logos” and the same way the S the place of Z (like in German and Dutch in the beginning of words e.g. sun-Zonne) and so the S instead of Z of Meggous-oglou-Mengguzu is not a problem and the name means “Mongolian, from Mongolia” (in Greek Moggolos).

I didn't know it was a condition that it should be at Alexander's time. But they did live in Macedonia, and their descendants, the Byrgres were in Mygdonia near Chalkidike during the era of Alexander and later.
Those were not Thracians, but Greeks living in Thrace. Thracians were a barbarian tribe usually hostile to the Greek colonists.In Ancient times Thracians were a mixture of tribes and half of them were Greek and spoke Ionian.
Justinian was the last emperor to speak Latin as his native language.Justinian spoke the Thracian dialect of Greek and got allot of stick for it. By his time the original Thracians did not exist Thrace was a Greek Colony.
The Inheritance of Rome, Chris Wickham, Penguin Books Ltd. 2009, ISBN 978-0-670-02098-0 (page 90). Justinian referred to Latin as his native tongue in several of his laws. See Moorhead (1994), p. 18
The Bithynians all considered themselves to be Greek. No one was considered to be a Roman unless they had citizenship of the city of Rome. It used to be part of the empire of Alexander and therefore part of the Hellenic Union, ie. Greece. It then came under the control of the Byzantine Greek Empire.
There were lots of Greeks who held Romans citizens. But the people subjected to the rule of Roman Empire were not called citizens. They were called subjects.
Greece was all of Sicily, Achaia, Macedonia, Ionia, Aeolia, Paphlagonia, Cappodochia, Crete, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Cyrene, Lydia, Mysia, Lycia, Caria, Celicia and EVERYWHERE OCCUPIED BY GREEKS since Minoan and Myceanean times, including Rome itself. That is why the period is called the Greco-Roman period and the culture Greco-Roman culture.
HUH? Syria is Greece???
