Talk:Bessus

Appropriate?
Is this appropriate? "Alexander ordered that Bessus should have it in the butt before his death."

Not clear
Bessus in many of the articles on wiki say he is native to bactria and died there. Also if He is from bactrian so it makes him afghan. It is still not known taht if Achmaneind ever did go to what is now afghanistan and central asia and if he did was there for very brief. 24.5.197.224 03:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Pashtun786
 * No reason to think he was from Bactria - he was related to the Persian royal house, after all. dougweller (talk) 14:41, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Afghan is another name for pashtuns. Pashtuns were apstorals living on southern parts of Hindukush, far from Bactria and even civilization at that time.

That is NOT definitive evidene. Bessus was Bactrian and belonged to Bactria. Do you say Bessus came from Persia (i.e. land beyond the lut deserts), and was not Bactrian, and didn't speak Bactrian language? *confused*
 * I am saying that there is no evidence he was from Bactria. He was a member of the Persian Royal Family which is presumably why he was governor of Bactria. You will need a source that says he is from Bactria to make that change to the article. And please do not remove source edits as you just did, the edit says what was referenced (that he was a member of the royal family).
