The existence of this kingdom is far from certain: The French archaeologist Gabriel Camps, for instance, has argued that Courtois' "Kingdom of Ouarsenis" was but a part of a larger kingdom that included most of Mauretania Caesariensis. Other scholars, such as those writing for the Encyclopédie berbère, have further questioned why Courtois dubbed it the "Kingdom of Ouarsenis" when the kingdom was likely centered not around the Ouarsenis, but instead the mountainous Frenda area.
