10 years ago I think this is part of the Pleiades issue that you're planning to discuss with them? There are no co-ordinates for Araxes River, see http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/884118/batlas-location. (it's always awkward choosing a point location for a linear feature, which may be why.) The location in Pleiades+ is lat 38.5000000, long 46.5000000, which is presumably the SW corner of the Barrington grid square, but Eric is taking (what are in general better) locations from Pleiades online, I think.
As discussed in other messages, I think an updated version of Pleiades+ might help us, if it's feasible.

As I check the new implementations of the interface, I notice a lot of sites that appear in the text, and are linked to Pleiades, but that are listed as having "0 references" and do not appear in the timeline. An example is the Araxes river, which appears in the text here: http://enridaga.github.io/gapvis/gap2/#book/1/read/216/586. The Araxes is clearly parsed as a place (http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/884118), but is absent from the timeline and is off in a point in the Atlantic that seems to be the dumping ground of unlocated places.
I notice that this place, like some others, has only a general Barrington grid square in Pleiades. Usually the places with only grid squares get coordinates derived from the southwest corner of the square, but this doesn't even seem to get that.
I don't know if the zero reference problem is connected to the lack of coordinates problem, but we need to iron both of these out. Is this once again related to the information that's being given to the Geoparser, or is it coming from the geoparsing stage, or is it a display issue?
