The Sources
One of the first priorities for the thracology is a first collection of sources, as complete as possible. This task is of a such great effort and such time consuming that, in my opinion, it is impossible to be accomplished by a single man.
Ancient sources are usually split into direct sources (inscriptions, papyri, coins a.o.) and indirect sources (manuscripts). It is a pertinent classification, since each of this type of document has its own way of interpreting text and errors.
