This 'full' revert of the text [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bylliones&diff=996584257&oldid=996504602]] needs a decent explanation since it isn't based on a source published 30 years ago but on a recent one. In fact those sources that aren't sure about the decree of hellenization cant be considered outdated. Stocker on the other hand mentions that at the time they minted their own currency they were ''thoroughly Hellenized''.[[User:Alexikoua|Alexikoua]] ([[User talk:Alexikoua|talk]]) 18:30, 27 December 2020 (UTC) |

In fact those sources that aren't sure about the decree of hellenization cant be considered outdated.
