Regarding names in Dardania[edit]
The source from Malcolm where he quotes Katicic does not say only that Thracian names were on the Eastern Strip, in fact the study from Katicic claims East of Dardania had mostly Thracian names and west of dardania mostly Illyrian:
"A special problem is posed by the anthroponymy of the Dardanian territory. Some of the native names recorded there belong to the Illyrian (Monunius, Etuta, Epicadus, Scemlaedus), some others belong to the Delmato-Pannonian system (Andia, Anna, Dasius, Plannius). In eastern Dardania the native names are predominantly Thracian. It seems that in the west of Dardania an originally Illyrian anthroponymy was superseded by a Delmato-Pannonian stratum"

So this is what Katicic claims.
There is a source that claims the Dardani were Moesians and that their towns Nish and Scupi were Thracian. So it seems East of Dardania was mostly Thracian, west of Dardania Illyrian
"The Dardanians, who are said by Nicholas Damascenus, Strabo, Appian and others to be Illyrians, were regarded by Dio Cassius as being Moesians. And Stephanus says that their towns of Naissus [Nish] and Skupi [Skopje] were Thracian"
