The linked authority identifier is Q6587855. Authority coordinates are 38.651, 29.666. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
