What Wikipedia says

The Jireček Line is a conceptual boundary through the ancient Balkans that divides the influence of the Latin (in the north) and Greek (in the south) languages in the Roman Empire from antiquity to the 4th century. The border has been corrected repeatedly by the discovery of new inscriptions.
