Aenus (Ainos) has a quasi-autonomus issue.

Varbanov counts Odessus to Moesia and
lists the islands: Imbros, Samothrace and Thasos.

Thankyou Benito and Pekka K. 

Pekka K:  I also list Hephaestia (on Lemnos) for the Islands.  Is this in Varbanov?

But it would not be wrong to leave Odessos in Thrace. Pick had it in Moesia and Head puts the city at the end of his Moesian list of cities before he starts with Anchialus, and he lists the cities alphabetically, that is an indication of the uncertainty of its actual ancient location with respect to the fluctuating border between Thrace and Moesia Inferior.

Varbanov does not list Hephaestia, however Historia Numorum cites coins minted in "Imperial Times".   They do not show the image or name of the emperor though.

By "Kings of Thrace", are you refering to the Bosporus Kingdom?

Varbanov's map leaves Lemnos to Macedonia.
