Christoph W. Clairmont: Excavations at Salona, Yugoslavia, 1969-1972: conducted for the Department of Classics, Douglass College, Rutgers. Noyes Press, 1975, ISBN 0-8155-5040-5, S. 4 (archive.org): „Then the Delmatae must obviously have come here prior to the founding of Tragurion and Epetion; as seen earlier, a date either in the fourth or third century B.C. has been proposed as a foundation date for these two cities. [...] As for the founding of an emporion by Tragurion [der griechischen Gründung am Ort, Anm. d. Ed.] [...] the archaeological evidence —scanty as it is— suggests a date in the first half of the second century B.C.“
