On 13:03, 8 June 2008 and again on 16:15, 8 June 2008 editor 84.59.205.248 made the following edits.
These edits are, at best, flaky. This may be due to the editors poor grasp of the English language (the IP address suggests Germany), or it may just be some tribal thing. In any case, unless someone can make sense of the edits in the next few hours, I am going to undo them. -- Fullstop ( talk) 22:35, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
An IP editor added "(Does'nt that sound like "Afridi" an indigenous pushtun tribe,also called "Apridae" in today's pushtu)" to the section " Ptolemy (6.20.3) mentions several tribes of Arachosia by name, the Pargyetae ( Greek: Παρ(γ)υῆται), and, to the south, the Sidri ( Greek: Σίδροι), Rhoplutae (Ῥωπλοῦται), and Eoritae (Ἐωρῖται). Despite attempts to connect the Eoritae with the "Arattas" of the Mahabharata, the identity of these tribes is unknown, and even Ptolemy's orthography is disputed ("Pargyetae" is sometimes rewritten "Parsyetae" or "Aparytae")." I am a non-expert, so don't know to what extent to take this speculation seriously. At any rate I have removed it. TheGrappler ( talk) 14:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Pacytans did NOT live in Arachosia but up north. The province of Paktia is named after them and the idea of Croats originating from there is quite silly, no historian relies on just name similarities to come to a conclusion where people came from. This should be corrected. Akmal94 ( talk) 04:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
