/me emerges from the Tedious Cyberswamp of Detangling Pleiades, Wikidata, and Wikipedia entries and cross-links for the Assyrian Empire, Region of Assyria, and Trajanic Roman Province of Assyria to try to remember what he was doing when he stumbled across the rats' nest. Oh, right, connecting the provinces of the Sasanian empire in Pleiades.

Thank goodness for Pauly. But also the various Wikipedia articles are rather good, it's just that the Wikidata links out to Pleiades were all confused and some of the links from the Pleiades entries to Wikidata and Wikipedia similarly crossed wires (but not reciprocally). And Pleiades didn't have a separate entry at all for the little province of Assyria that Trajan seems to have created during his military adventure in Mesopotamia.
