Pietroasa (etymology +)

[Andrei Stirbu]

The placement of Caucocensii on contemporary historical maps is aproximative. I see no reason for Goths to name the region highland as long the region of Pietroasa is at the limit of the plain and small hills, rather in the plain:

So, in my opinion, is very plausible that Goths used the Dacian name of the Cauca  region.
