As Strobel (New Pauly) misidentifies the ancient Daphnutis lake as the Efteni Gölü, rather than the Ulubat Gölü, which is much further south and west, the Foss/Robert speculations about the identification of the upper course of the Hypios have been given certainty = "less certain" and the Strobel conjecture certainty = "uncertain".
