Ceka 2022, p. 840: "...un’iscrizione della seconda metà del III sec. a.C. (Figs. 3; 3.1), che mette in evidenza l’esistenza di un esercito di guardie di frontiera, i peripoloi, comandati dal peripolarchos e assistiti da un grammateus... Tutti i nomi sono illirici e danno testimonianza di un’amministrazione composta da membri della communità indigena in una fase ancora iniziale del processo di acculturazione." p. 841: "Nelle iscrizioni amministrative dei Bylliones del III-II sec. a.C., si nota ancora la persistenza dell’onomastica illirica, nel nome e nel patronimico dei pritani... Per il resto si vede un’interferenza di nomi di origine apolloniata, che mostrano il progresso nel processo di acculturazione della popolazione locale." p. 839: "In un altro sito (...) lo scrittore considera ancora barbari i popoli Amantes et Buliones."

Hammond 1994, p. 250: "It is likely that the Illyrian Bylliones adopted the terminology from the Greeks, for they became very thoroughly Hellenized during the fifty or so years of the rule of the Molossian kings ca . c . 290 – 240 B.C."

Shpuza 2022, p. 13: "Ainsi, il faut noter que l'Illyrie n'a jamais constitué un État unifié et centralisé40. L'organisation politique d'une partie des Illyriens était fondée sur le koinon. Les plus réputés d'entre eux étaient le Koinon des Bylliones et celui des Amantes, d'une organisation similaire à celle du Koinon des Épirotes. Parallèlement à ces koina, existait aussi un royaume illyrien, dont l'autorité s'exerçait sur une ou plusieurs tribus. Le royaume était plus solide dans la partie méridionale de Illyrie, où les rois sont attestés dès le siècle avant notre ère, même si leur dynastie ne peut être suivie qu'à partir du milieu du IIIe siècle avant notre ère."

Winnifrith 2002, p. 58: "There are however, some other sites in Southern Albania which cannot be attributed to sudden Macedonian or Molossian advance, notably Amantia, Byllis and Selce, thought by some to be Pelium, where Alexander the Great fought a difficult campaign. Their massive walls were constructed before the end of the fourth century, and the literary sources talk of them as Illyrian rather than Epirote or Macedonian foundations. Later Amantia and Byllis acquired the trappings of a Hellenistic town." Winnifrith, Tom J. (2002). Badlands-borderlands: a history of Northern Epirus/Southern Albania. London: Duckworth.

Hammond 1992, pp. 36–37: "The southernmost Illyrian tribes tended to become bilingual. Thus Byllis, the largest city in the territory of the Illyrian Bylliones, was a Greek-speaking city, visited by Greek envoys from the shrines of Greece." Hammond, N. G. L. (1992).

Stocker 2009, p. 309: "The Argive list also included two specific cities in Chaonia, Phoinice and Himara, both of which must have been Greek, but no "Illyrian" cities. A century later, however, on the Delphic list (ca. 220-189 B.C.), Byllis and Abantiai were included among the recipients of a sacred envoy.1102 The length of time that elapsed before Illyrian cities were recorded on a list of theorodokoi makes it clear that acculturation did occur in southern Illyria, but that the process was gradual."
