"Eidyn was the region around modern Edinburgh in Britain's sub-Roman and early medieval periods". Could you give approximate dates in the first sentence for readers who might not know what "sub-Roman" means?
Driscoll & Yeoman 2006, p. 624.—does this refer to Driscoll 2006?

I have added approximate dates to the first sentence, and yes, the correct source for that cite is Driscoll 2006. Thanks!--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:54, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
