 The forms "Argidava" and "Arcidava" found in other ancient sources like Ptolemy's Geographia (c. 150 AD) and Tabula Peutingeriana (2nd century AD), clearly place a Dacian town with those names at this geographical location.The site is also close to Sarmizegetusa, a later Dacian capital.Others, led by historian Vasile Pârvan and professor Radu Vulpe place "Argedava" at Popeşti, a district in the town of Mihăilești, Giurgiu County, Romania.
