Weakly attested ancient polities absent from broad Bronze/Iron/Classical state lists
Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 mechanical-gap title-prior lane.
Why this candidate exists
Adjacent Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Classical Age state-list titles in the shard suggest a seam where polities are organized by period even though some entities are likely known through uneven, fragmentary, or reconstructed attestations rather than stable documentary records. Source title-prior route: route:7506a4800e386fa8c3e7326e8ad94d8a991704640e6b2f7b.
