Pelasgians were not barbarians, from them arrived the Hellenic civilizations ! The L. Græc is ad. Gr. , said by Aristotle (Meteor. I. xiv) to have been the prehistoric name of the Hellenes in their original seats in Epirus a Pelasgian tribe. The word is app. an adjectival derivative of Graius, which is used in Latin as a poetical synonym of Græcus. Recent scholars think the name may have been brought to Italy by colonists from Eub a, where there is some evidence of its having existed: see Busolt Gr. Gesch. I.2 198. reference from Oxford English Dictionary 2007 , Catholic Encyclopedia .Albanian Epirot and Greek are synonyms, in south Italy Arberesh as Arvanites ( ancient Albanian )were called Greek .Do not be surprise for findings why you do not ask Νίκο Στύλο a Greek of course different from you , he will give you same explanation .And do not spy me ?!--DODONA e Epirit
