The Geography of Strabo published in Vol. III of the Loeb Classical Library edition, 1924. "...Not only the Axius flows out of the country of the Paeonians, but also the Strymon, for it flows out of the country of the Agrianes through that of the Medi and then Sinti and empties into the parts that are between the Bisaltae and the Odomantes..."

That isnt a secondary source.No original research.Mine is a secondary source and you just provide a translation of Strabo which is not a secondary source.Megistias (talk) 14:12, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Read Greek site about the Maedi ... Alexander waged a brief campaign against the rebellious Maedi, a tribe that must have lived somewhere in the southwest of modern Bulgaria... Jingby (talk) 18:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Strabo Book 7 - To the Dardaniatae (Dardani) belong also the Galabrii, among whom is an ancient city, and the Thunatae, whose country joins that of the Medi, a Thracian tribe on the east. Also according to Strabo the Maedi lived east from the Dardani! Jingby (talk) 18:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Another Greek site stating that ...But as the Macedonian army advanced deep into Thrace, the Thracian tribe of Maedi bordering north-eastern Macedonia rebelled... Jingby (talk) 19:15, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Another Bulgarian site stating that ... In the Southwest Bulgaria is found a little part of the province Macedonia, which was one of the earliest Roman possessions in the Balkans – from 146 BC. The lands of the thracian tribe Maedi, from which originated Spartacus, were annexed to it. The Maedi lived in the area along the riversides of Struma and Mesta. During the Roman times in this region have prospered the city Nicopolis ad Nestum (Gotse Delchev (town), Bulgaria) and the ancient city, which name is still unknown and locates under the modern Sandanski, Bulgaria.
