Word Origin and History of Albania: "A republic in south Europe, in the Balkan Peninsula, west of Macedonia and northwest of Greece. 10,632 square miles. (27,535 square km). "Medieval Latin name of the country called by its inhabitants Shqiperi (literally, land of eagles, from shqiponje eagle), from Medieval Greek Albania, possibly from a pre-IE [Indo-European] word *alb hill (also proposed as the source of Alps) or from the PIE [Proto-Indo-European] root *albho- white (see alb). Roman Albania was a land by the Caspian Sea (modern Daghestan); in English Albania was occasionally also a name for Scotland." http: // Julius von Klaproth; George Goldie (Edinburgh), John Cumming (Dublin), editors; Frederic Shoberl, translator; Travels in the Caucasus and Georgia: Performed in the Years 1807 and 1808, by Command of the Russian Government; Henry Colburn; 1814 Julius von Klaproth writes: "Strabos account is as follows: - It is said that the Amazons formerly dwelt on the mountains beyond Albania. Theophanes, who accompanied Pompey in his expedition to Albania, at least asserts that the Albanians were separated by the Amazons from the Scythian tribes of the Legi and Geli, and that the river Mermadalis formed the boundary between those two tribes. But Skassius, Metrodotus, Hipsicrates and others who were well acquainted with the country, asserted that the Amazons were neighbours of the Gargaraeans, who inhabit the northern foot of the Keraunian mountains.".
