I would like to sum another statement by Andrew Robert Burn in his book "A Traveller's History of Greece" , 1984. I have the Italian edition of 1991 by Arnoldo Mondatori Editore S.p.A. , Milano. In page 359 he states : " La Macedonia , che si estendeva intorno alla fertile terra alluvionale del basso Axio , era una regione di robusti contadini e di signorotti dediti all'equitazione, che parlavano un rozzo DIALETTO GRECO , incompresnibile agli Ateniesi e per questo definito "barbaro" ". ENGLISH TRANSLATION (I'm doing my best): "Macedonia , extended along the fertile land of lower Axios , was a region of robust agricolturs and of nobles devoted in equitation , that spoke a ROUGH GREEK DIALECT , incomprehensible to the Athenians and for that defined "barbarian" ".
