 * ... that the village of Pangani (village and river pictured) on the Pangani River left bank, had a reputation for fevers?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Date, length, sources, policies are fine, but the hook is sort of boring. Picture is o.k. I am a bit skeptical about Ptolemy's knowledge of this part of the world, so find "almost all authorities agree..." hard to swallow.

 * The hook is very uninformative. Did it have a reputation for healers who could cure fevers?  Did it have a high incidence of fevers?  Did it have specific, unique fevers?  A reputation is normally associated with a qualitative or quantitative perception, not a medical concept. Kevin McE (talk) 23:49, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
