question: Who were an Illyrian tribe whose first historical account appears in a work of Ptolemy, and whos home was Albania?
answer: Albanoi
context: Title: Amantes (ancient tribe)
  Passage: Amantes or Abantes (Greek: Ἀμάντιεύς ) is a name of an ancient Greek tribe in the most northern part of Epirus.  An ancient Greek polis Amantia, was named after them.  There was also an Illyrian tribe with a similar name in Pannonia, the Amantini.  According to a study by Robert Elsie in 2017, the Amantes were an Illyrian tribe who inhabited modern day Albania.
  Title: History of Albania
  Passage: The history of Albania forms a part of the history of Europe.  During the classical times, Albania was home to several Illyrian tribes such as the Ardiaei, Albanoi, Amantini, Enchele, Taulantii and many others, but also Thracian and Greek tribes, as well as several Greek colonies established on the Illyrian coast.  In the 3rd century BC, the area was annexed by Rome and became part of the Roman provinces of Dalmatia, Macedonia and Moesia Superior.  Afterwards, the territory remained under Roman and Byzantine control until the Slavic migrations of the 7th century.  It was integrated into the Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century.
  Title: Amantini
  Passage: Amantini (Greek Ἄμαντες) was the name of an Pannonian Illyrian tribe.  They greatly resisted the Romans but were sold as slaves after their defeat.  The Amantini were close to Sirmium but the tribe was probably present in southern areas as well due to the existence of a city name Amantia.  This would make the south Amantini the southernmost Illyrian tribe.
  Title: Parthus
  Passage: Parthus or Parthos (Ancient Greek, ""Πάρθος"") was a settlement in ancient Illyria, of the Illyrian tribe of the Parthini.  Its location is in Shkumbin valley, in modern Albania.
  Title: Enchele
  Passage: The Enchelei or Enkelej (Albanian: "Enkelejtë" ; Latin: "Encheleae"; Greek: Ἐγχέλιοι/Ἐγχελεῖς, translit., "Enchelioi/Encheleis"; name of the country: Ἐγχέλη, "Enchele"), were an Illyrian tribe that lived around the region of Lake Ohrid and Lynkestis, in modern-day Albania, the Republic of Macedonia and Greece.  Their name in ancient Greek meant "eel-people".  They were often at war for domination of the region with the ancient Macedonians who settled in the east.  Their neighbors in the north-west were the Illyrian Taulanti, to the north, the Dardani and to the south the Dassaretae, an ancient Greek tribe.
  Title: Albanopolis
  Passage: Albanopolis (Ancient Greek: Ἀλβανόπολις, "Alvanópolis") was a city in ancient Roman Macedon specifically in Epirus Nova, the city of the Albanoi, an Illyrian tribe.  The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World locate Albanopolis at the modern-day village of Zgërdhesh, near Krujë, Albania.  The ancient city may correspond with later mentions of the settlement called Arbanon and Albanon during the Middle Ages, although it is not certain this was the same place.  The city appears at 150 AD almost 300 years after Roman conquest of the region.
  Title: Albanoi
  Passage: Albanoi (Ancient Greek: Ἀλβανοί , "Alvanoí"; Albanian: "Albanët" ) or Albani were an Illyrian tribe whose first historical account appears in a work of Ptolemy in addition to a town called Albanopolis (Ἀλβανόπολις ) located east of the Ionian sea, in modern-day Albania.  Ptolemy's mention in 150 AD places them in the Roman province of Macedon, specifically in Epirus Nova, almost 300 years after the Roman conquest of the region.  Ptolemy himself makes no hint of their true ethnic identification, and he does not clarify whether the citizens of Albanopolis were Illyrians, Macedonians or Thracians, all of which are distinct possibilities.  However from the names of places with which Albanopolis is connected, it appears clearly to have been in the southern part of the Illyrian territory, and in the center of modern Albania, an area inhabited by the Illyrians at the time.
  Title: List of ancient tribes in Illyria
  Passage: This is a list of ancient tribes in the ancient territory of Illyria (Ancient Greek: Ἰλλυρία ).  The name "Illyrians" seems to be the name of a single Illyrian tribe that was the first to come into contact with the ancient Greeks, causing the name Illyrians to be applied to all people of similar language and customs.  The locations of Illyrian tribes/peoples prior to the Roman conquest are approximate, as sometimes many wholly different locations are given by ancient writers and modern authors (as in the case of the "Encheleans").
  Title: Kratul
  Passage: Kratul was an Illyrian settlement and fortification located in the territories of the Illyrian tribe of Labeates.  The archaeological material indicates that life at the settlement was active from the early Iron Age (beginning of 1st millennium BC) until the 1st century AD.
  Title: Royal Tombs of Selca e Poshtme
  Passage: The Illyrian Tombs of Selca e Poshtme () are located near the town of Pogradec in Albania near the village of "Selcë e Poshtme".  On the right bank of the river Shkumbin at an elevation of 1040 m above sea level, lie the remains of the ancient city of Pelion and the accompanying necropolis.  The Roman Via Egnatia led past it towards Thessaloniki.  Though there are traces of human activity in Neolithic times, the settlement proper dates to the Iron Age (Illyrian proto-urban) through to the Illyrian urban period (5th to 2nd centuries BC), and reached its height under settlement by the Illyrian tribe of Enchele in the later Iron Age and was also occupied in the Roman period as traces of a municipal building show.  From the 4th to 1st centuries BC the city was the royal residence of Illyrian kings and therefore, also probably an important political and economic centre.  In 1996, Albania included the Royal tombs of Selca e Poshtme in the UNESCO World heritage list of proposals.
