Notes:
[1] The gloss, Patzinakitai or Patzinakai, is common in late sources; especially in Constantine VII, De imperio adminstrando. See generally OCD(4) s.v. Dacia. The Dacian kingdom occupied the region around the Carpathian Mountains and bordered on the Black Sea to the east. After the Roman conquest in 106 CE, Dacia became a Roman province in the lower Danube region; cf. Barrington Atlas map 100 grid L2.
[2] The entry here lurches sideways into consideration of the neuter noun dakos ("biting animal", related to the verb da/knw; cf. delta 21, delta 22).
[3] Likewise in other lexica. Latte on Hesychius s.v. regards da/kh as quoted from Euripides, Hippolytus 646.
